| basic service management rob england: Plus! The Standard+Case Approach Rob England, 2013-05-21 If your customers see your group as bureaucratic and inflexible... If your staff feel process bound... If your process doesn't adapt to a changing world... See service response in a new light. Standard+Case is an exciting new approach to categorising and resolving any sort of response activity, such as service desk, tech support, public safety, social welfare, or health. If you have anything to do with responding to situations when providing a service, read this. It will change your view of how responses are handled. Standard+Case applies to anything that requires a human response: there's either a standard response or there isn't. Standard+Case is a new paradigm for categorising and resolving any sort of response tickets, such as service desk requests (including incidents), problems, or operational changes. The phrase a new paradigm gets much over-used but this time it applies. This approach changes the way we think about everything to do with response. Standard+Case is a universal approach to responding to situations. It offers the following tangible benefits: -better utilisation of staff resources through greater throughput of responses because of more effective and efficient resolution of unknown and unfamiliar situations -reduced user down-time and time spent waiting on responses -fewer errors in complex and complicated situations. Standard+Case offers the following intangible benefits: -greater flexibility in responding to user needs -higher customer and user satisfaction -improved staff morale -better metrics: greater predictability of Standard responses and more meaningful monitoring of Case responses Much of our thinking in providing service is drawn from manufacturing, and focuses on standardisation (definition, repeatability) and statistical improvement of repeated tasks. But we no longer live in an industrial economy; we live in a service economy. We no longer manage industrial production lines; we manage the delivery of services to people. People cannot to be standardised. Much of our traditional approach tries to make them be standardised: to engage users in a standard manner, to respond back to them in equally standard ways. We pretend the world is standardised. When it is not - when non-standard things happen - we treat them as exceptions, and as failures of the system. Think of long-running incidents, or requests that do not fall into any defined category. As a consequence, non-standard responses are poorly controlled, misleadingly reported, and no formal practices exist; so there is minimal structured improvement of how we deal with them. Standard+Case acknowledges reality: much of our service activity will always be non-standard and has to be dealt with in a formalised way in order to manage, report and improve it as we do for the standardised part. We do that by treating non-standard responses as cases. Standard+Case accepts that much of the service world is non-standard. It is not a new way of responding to situations; it is simply a new way of looking at what we do now. We do respond to non-standard situations now, but we have little rigour around who and how. Standard+Case formalises and brings rigour to our ad-hoc response, so that all instances of service response are managed, reported and improved, not just the standard ones. |

| basic service management rob england: Exceptional Service, Exceptional Profit Leonardo Inghilleri, Micah Solomon, 2010-04-14 What if you could protect your business against competitive inroads, once and for all? Customer service experts Leonardo Inghilleri and Micah Solomon's anticipatory customer service approach was first developed at The Ritz-Carlton as well as at Solomon's company Oasis, and has since proven itself in countless companies around the globe--from luxury giant BVLGARI to value-sensitive auto parts leader Carquest and everywhere in between.

Soon, you'll be reaping the benefits of loyal customers who are: less sensitive to price competition, more forgiving of small glitches, and, ultimately, who are walking billboards happily promoting your brand. Filled with detailed, behind-the-scenes examples, Exceptional Service, Exceptional Profit unlocks a new level of customer relationship that leaves your competitors in the dust, your customers coming back day after day, and your bottom line looking better than it ever has before. |

| basic service management rob england: IT-Servicemanagement in KMU Pascal Root, Achim Schmidtmann, 2015-08-31 Die vorliegende Studie befasst sich mit der Auswertung der Ergebnisse der Umfrage IT-Servicemanagement in kleinen und mittelständischen Unternehmen (kurz: KMU). Diese hatte zum Ziel, den Ist-Zustand und die Qualität des ITSM im Mittelstand zu erfassen und zu bewerten. Diese Bewertung wurde anhand einer Reifegradanalyse der ITSM-Prozesse der Umfrageteilnehmer vollzogen. Im Anschluss erfolgte die Analyse in Korrelation mit dem Rahmenwerk ITIL, welches mit seinen Kernprozessen die Grundlage der Reifegradmessung darstellt. Im Kontext einer Ausrichtung der IT-Prozesse nach ITIL, sollen dabei Verbesserungspotenziale und konkrete Handlungsalternativen für Unternehmen aus dem Mittelstand herausgearbeitet werden. Die Analyse zeigt, dass auch KMU im Bereich ITSM eine solide Auf-stellung vorweisen. Während einige Prozesse überdurchschnittlich gut umgesetzt sind, gibt es in einzelnen Teilbereichen allerdings signifikante Defizite. Teilweise erscheinen die Prozesse sogar ähnlich zu ITIL gestaltet, ohne sich jedoch an deren Rahmen zu orientieren, denn lediglich ein Viertel aller Teilnehmer aus dem Mittelstand nutzt überhaupt standardisierte Frameworks. Bei einer Gesamtbetrachtung der IT-Infrastruktur wird deutlich, dass die einzelnen Prozesse überwiegend nicht aufeinander abgestimmt sind und keinem vorher festgelegten Konzept entsprechen. Zudem konnte festgestellt werden, dass es einen erhöhten Abstimmungsbedarf zwischen Geschäftsführung und IT-Verantwortlichen gibt, bezogen auf die Bereitstellung von Ressourcen für die Optimierung der IT-Prozesse. ITSM wird insgesamt zwar als sinnvoll, aber vor allem als zu komplex und zeitaufwändig beurteilt. Zudem ist der Mehrwert einer Implemen-tierung schwer zu erfassen, da profitable Auswirkungen nicht sofort oder nur schwierig messbar sind. Zur Erreichung eines höheren Einsatzes von ITIL in KMU, muss dieses weiter etabliert und insbesondere auch auf deren Besonderheiten zugeschnitten werden. Alle ITIL Prozesse gleichzeitig umzusetzen ist gerade für KMU eine nahezu unmögliche Herausforderung und sehr wahrscheinlich auch nicht sinnvoll. Um die Komplexität entscheidend zu reduzieren sowie die zur Verfügung stehenden Ressourcen nicht zu überlasten, gibt es aktuell noch zu wenige Referenzumsetzungen bzw. überhaupt Hilfestellungen aus oder für die Praxis. Insgesamt ist es für KMU empfehlenswert, ausgewählte Prozesse auf Basis der eigenen Prioritäten und einer individuellen Ausgestaltung sukzessive nach ITIL auszurichten. |
| basic service management rob england: VeriSMTM - A service management approach for the digital age International Foundation of Digital Competences, 2017-12-19 VeriSM is a framework that describes a service management approach from the organizational level, looking at the end to end view rather than focusing on a single department. Based around the VeriSM model, it shows organizations how they can adopt a range of management practices in a flexible way to deliver the right product or service at the right time to their consumers. VeriSM allows for a tailored approach depending upon the type of business you are in, the size of your organization, your business priorities, your organizational culture – and even the nature of the individual project or service you are working on. Rather than focusing on one prescriptive way of working, VeriSM helps organizations to respond to their consumers and deliver value with integrated service management practices. Service management plays a leading role in digital transformation. Digital transformation looks outward; with a hyper-focus on the consumer experience. Service management can help shift the mindset from ’inside-out’ to ’outside-in’ by developing effective, transparent principles that help deliver services that are valuable to the customer. All organizational capabilities must understand: - How does the organization enable and deliver value? - What are the supply chains within an organization that support value delivery? - How do the individual capabilities contribute to or support these supply chains to deliver value? |

Betz, 2011-11-02 Information technology supports efficient operations, enterprise integration, and seamless value delivery, yet itself is too often inefficient, un-integrated, and of unclear value. This completely rewritten version of the bestselling Architecture and Patterns for IT Service Management, Resource Planning and Governance retains the original (and still unique) approach: apply the discipline of enterprise architecture to the business of large scale IT management itself. Author Charles Betz applies his deep practitioner experience to a critical reading of ITIL 2011, COBIT version 4, the CMMI suite, the IT portfolio management literature, and the Agile/Lean IT convergence, and derives a value stream analysis, IT semantic model, and enabling systems architecture (covering current topics such as CMDB/CMS, Service Catalog, and IT Portfolio Management). Using the concept of design patterns, the book then presents dozens of visual models documenting challenging problems in integrating IT management, showing how process, data, and IT management systems must work together to enable IT and its business partners. The edition retains the fundamental discipline of traceable process, data, and system analysis that has made the first edition a favored desk reference for IT process analysts around the world. This best seller is a must read for anyone charged with enterprise architecture, IT planning, or IT governance and management. - Lean-oriented process analysis of IT management, carefully distinguished from an IT functional model - Field-tested conceptual information model with definitions and usage scenarios, mapped to both the process and system architectures - Integrated architecture for IT management systems - Synthesizes Enterprise Architecture, IT Service Management, and IT Portfolio Management in a practical way |

| basic service management rob england: Cities, Politics, and Policy John P. Pelissero, 2002-10-01 Just because Milwaukee isn't Manhattan, doesn't mean that those urban centers face completely unique challenges. Through effective comparative analysis of key issues in urban studies--how city managers share power with mayors, how spending policies affect economic development, and how school politics impact education policy--students can clearly see how scholars discern patterns and formulate conclusions to offer theoretical and practical insights from which all cities can benefit. Pelissero brings together an impressive team of contributors to explore variation among cities through case studies and cross-sectional analyses. Each author synthesizes the field's seminal literature while explaining how urban leaders and their constituents grapple with everything from city council politics to conflict and cooperation among minority groups. Authors identify both key trends and gaps in the scholarship, and help set the research agenda for the years to come. Lively case material will hook your students while the accessible presentation of empirical evidence make this reader the comprehensive and sophisticated text you demand. |

| basic service management rob england: A Nation of Veterans Olivier Burtin, 2022-09-20 A Nation of Veterans examines how the United States created the world’s most generous system of veterans’ benefits. Though we often see former service members as an especially deserving group, the book shows that veterans had to wage a fierce political battle to obtain and then defend their advantages against criticism from liberals and conservatives alike. They succeeded in securing their privileged status in public policy only by rallying behind powerful interest groups, including the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Disabled American Veterans, and the American Legion. In the process, veterans formed one of the most powerful movements of the early and mid-twentieth century, though one that we still know comparatively little about. In examining how the veterans’ movement inscribed martial citizenship onto American law, politics, and culture, A Nation of Veterans offers a new history of the U.S. welfare state that highlights its longstanding connection with warfare. It shows how a predominantly white and male group such as military veterans was at the center of social policy debates in the interwar and postwar period and how women and veterans of color were often discriminated against or denied access to their benefits. It moves beyond the traditional focus on the 1944 G.I. Bill to examine other important benefits like pensions, civil service preference, and hospitals. The book also examines multiple generations of veterans, by shedding light on how former service members from both world wars as well as Korea and the Cold War interacted with each other. This more complete picture of veterans’ politics helps us understand the deep roots of the military welfare state in the United States today. |
