Good or Bad, you still manage your services. But what matters is "How well" you do it
and again...
It is not the employer who pays the wages. Employers only handle the money. It is the customer who pays the wages.
-Henry Ford

5. From a business perspective - IT in all its forms is
probably the most expensive and powerful enabler/
disabler of business operation and performance today
Effective ITSM' - is key to 'effective IT' - is key to 'effective
Business’

6. What then is… ITSM?
“The implementation and management of quality IT services
that meet the needs of the business.” ~ ITIL
“A discipline for managing IT systems, philosophically centered
on the customer's perspective of IT's contribution to the
business. ITSM stands in deliberate contrast to technologycentered approaches to IT management and business
interaction.” ~ Wikipedia (Charlie Betz)
“Service management is a systematic method for managing
the offering, contracting and provisioning of services to
customers, at a known quality, cost and designed experience.
Service management ensures the desired results and customer
satisfaction levels are achieved cost effectively, ...” ~ USMBOK

10. So What is ITIL ?
-Set of practices for IT Service Management (ITSM) that
focuses on aligning IT services with the needs of
business
-ITIL is one of the inputs to SM who’s focus is to
combine assets to create value for the customer
-ITIL is set of good practices NOT an installation guide
-Describes processes, procedures, tasks and checklists
that are not organization-specific
-Underpins ISO/IEC 20000

11. What ITIL can do for You?
Provide framework and guidelines to implement your
best practices and achieve efficiency
Standardize your IT processes and talk the same
language
Quicken your ITSM implementation
Apply practices across whole of
Organization
11
12. Statistics on ITIL
20% annual growth on
adoption by organizations
30% compounded annual for
last ten years
“the actual level of adoption of
ITIL is less than 57% (the mean)
but more than 28%, the lowest
result reported”
12
13. More Statistical responses – Why ITIL
Cost Control
Customer Satisfaction
Standardization of Service
Reduction of Downtime
Faster Response and resolution
“Interesting here that the primary focus
appears to be on cost control/damage
limitation, and not so much on ‘innovation’
and differentiating a business. It appears to
be seen very much as an operational thing
(think ITIL V2) as opposed to a strategic and
differentiating asset (think the ITIL V3
theory)”
IT workload improvements / efficiency
Business IT alignment / relationship
Monitoring IT Performance
Clear Roles and Responsibilities
Transparency
Improved Processes

14. ITIL and Process Maturity!
• As the maturity of the ITIL implementation increases, the
number of implemented processes also increases
• As the maturity increases, the challenges of implementation
decrease.
• As the maturity of ITIL implementation increases, so does the
number of realized benefits.
• Marginal returns can be observed after the implementation
reaches the defined (Level 3) maturity level.
• The perceived business-IT alignment increases as the maturity
of implementation increases
14
18. What does the business expect from IT?
What is the perceived value?
Of course high quality, business enabling technology services
Increase revenue/margins/profit or reduced costs
Attract new business or retain
Delivery operational efficiencies to the business units
Help in achieving business goals
Provide competitive advantage
Most Important, they need to be consulted

19. USING ITSM TO BETTER SERVE AND MEET
CUSTOMER NEEDS / EXPECTATIONS

21. Value Generation Approach
• Are we doing
the right
things?
Strategic
Value
• Are we
getting the
benefits?
• Are we doing
the right
way?
Architecture
Delivery
• Are we
getting them
done well?

23. Common mistakes with metrics
Metrics for metrics sake
Too many of them
Measuring the easy things
Internally focused than on Business
Data massaging
Metrics poorly reported
Old metrics never die
Not understanding what metrics really mean
Skewed baselines
Perspective understanding of reported metrics
23
24. Where is the gap!
IT Thinks…
And Business Thinks
Incident volumes
“Ye we have dealt with 4000
incidents…”
“mmm… You have failed 4000 times”
FCR
“..if you can’t help me..pass me to
someone who can”
“We have achieved 70% FCR”
Availability
“We have 99.97% availability on critical
services”
Staff training
“100% of our staff are ITIL trained”
“what about the 0.03% when we really
need it to be working”
“don’t need to ask them a question on
ITIL I need them to help me. Yes, me the
customer”

27. Again!
Stop doing, Stop Talking. And Listen to
what the customers thinks of your
services
Be focused on customer needs. Align
them to your objectives and Services
Try, test and show quick wins
Don’t forget to review your metrics
holistically and communicate
Look closely at the service end point, they
have valuable feedback.
Lastly, KEEP IT SIMPLE
