Service Design is in some ways the most intriguing IT Service Management lifecycle phase. While many practitioners still react with big question marks in their eyes if asked about Service Design it clearly 'happens'. How well and how elaborate - if one returns home with a hangover or worse - is a different question...
Our June speaker accidentally started his Service Management career in the "Service Design" team at T-Systems in Germany back in 1997. In this session he will share his experiences with more (and less) successful service design efforts from a variety of organisations across the globe and, more recently, designing a service from scratch with one of the largest Canadian industry associations – the Canadian Real Estate Association (“CREA”), lessons learnt from managing the Service Management Program Office at NAV Canada, a very unique, private, Ottawa-based service everybody relies on every day, and being responsible for a business line which is not a traditional IT service - with all its design and development challenges.
- What a “service” really is
- Do we really need to design a service?
- Quick recap – ITIL Service Design processes / Service Levels
- Availability, Capacity, Continuity and Security
- When ‘bad’ design costs money and how ‘good’ design saves money
Join us, share your experiences, take good ideas back to your office (or home), become more aware of pitfalls and ask your questions!
