From IT Service Management to Service Mindset
Katrina bravely challenges the so called “best practice” approach to IT Service Management.
Put simply, IT organisations need to challenge these best practices that have been accepted and used as the reference model for service desks, service level agreements and the design of IT operations. We need to re-boot and ensure the customer experience (not the process) is the essence of how we design IT services. During this session, Katrina will present her unique approach – ITIL Human Centred Service Design which ensures the customer is at the heart of all ITIL practices. Katrina will also discuss how the adoption of her approach has enabled major organisations, both locally and globally, to transform how they design IT services Human centred design is a philosophy not a framework; by combining this philosophy with ITIL practices where consideration of the end user’s needs, desires, limitations and their environment form the foundation of the design of ITIL practices assures a great customer experience (also applicable to employee & suppliers). Katrina will present a case study outlining where the IT organisation of one of Australia’s most iconic airlines recognized it had limited ability to demonstrate how it could best contribute to the airlines’ business outcomes. Factors hindering this problem were complex support models and outdated IT metrics that provided nominal value to business and in most cases, IT.
