Digital Service Management 2016: The Year of Transformation

Top 5 emerging ITSM trends in 2016 by Richard Josey

Major incidents are characterized by a high level of complexity and high priority to the business. The resolution of these mandates a team of specialists with diverse skills and extensive communication both within the team of resolvers and with the users. If you have the right set of people, processes and technology in place, a major incident need not result in confusion and chaos. The true essence of major incident management lies in not only in quick and efficient resolution of major incidents, but also in creating and delivering value within the team and outside it. In this engaging webinar, Richard Josey, Service Management Architect, discusses the operational and psychological dimensions of major incident management and highlights the key areas that organizations need to work on to ensure that they have efficient mechanisms in place to tackle major incidents.

The Discipline of Major Incident Management

In part two of our series on “Being Digital Ready,” we take a look at the traditional service management disciplines of Incident and Problem Management and how you can take advantage of latest technologies and expertise to increase your ability to support, restore, and prevent interruptions to your service portfolio.

Join us as we discuss the new Unisys Service Desk Optimization package for ServiceNow with Jeff Petti, Sr. Offering Architect, Unisys ServiceNow Solutions.  We will dive in to what these features provide to both the end users as well as level 1 support teams in requesting, handling, and managing incidents on the ServiceNow Enterprise Cloud Platform.

We will then progress and discuss Problem Management as a “best practice” with Eva Csongradi of the Unisys Service Management Office, on the importance of a dedicated Problem Management Practice and the associated benefits.

We will conclude our discussion by taking Problem Management to the predictive phase with Edward Chavis, of the Big Data Analytics Practice, where we will discuss the potential for Predictive Problem Management and anticipating and resolving issues before they become incidents.

Incident and Problem Management to Support Digital IT Operations

To keep pace with the increasing demands to become a more digital business, IT organizations need to have the foundational digital service management pillars in place to; create, launch, secure, manage, analyze and restore digital services via strong strategy, governance, intelligence and automation.  

Time is money, whether launching new services, fulfilling orders, improving performance and engagement or reacting to predictive intelligence.  The ability to create, enable and deliver these capabilities to the rest of IT, to your internal associates and to your clients will determine your future success and survivability.

Join us for part one of a three part series where we will discuss how cloud impacts ITSM from both a tool and overall infrastructure perspective and how mobility first is key to your future and look out to 2016 and the forces shaping our industry.

Are You Digital Ready?

Is CSI a specialized function, following a process from a book? In this session we will discuss various models for CSI and how they can be implemented within an organization. This session will show that CSI is not just something for mature ITSM organizations, but something we all can participate in, because of, or in spite of, our leadership.

CSI – Process? Function? Culture?

Have you ever wondered how people view your CMDB?  CMDBs have many users from different groups all with their own needs and perspectives. The better these needs are served the higher the value of your Configuration Management process and CMDB is to your organization.

This session will explore the different stakeholders in Configuration Management and how this affects your process and CMDB design.

Configuration Management...Who Cares?

In today’s hyper-competitive world of digital business, uptime and performance are essential elements to a 24/7 global business and as we all know, “slow is the new downtime.” At the same time, you must rapidly and continuously introduce new services to the mix.

How do you continue to monitor the performance of your services and underlying systems and make not only adjustments to said performance, while also rapidly introduce new services, without disrupting the user experience?

Join us as we discuss these “changes” occurring in IT operations and some of the solutions and approaches that are available to you in order to stay competitive and maintain a sharp focus on both the needs of the business, while maintaining an engaged end user.

Brad Seller, Solution Consultant from the Edge Service Management Advisory Group, will discuss core prerequisites and best practices for modernizing traditional Change Management in your organization,  and Bob West, Vice President, Unisys Application Services,  will discuss bringing DevOps into the mix to speed innovation while maintaining smooth IT operations.

In Support of Digital IT Operations

Following on from their latest presentation on the behavioural trends of service management,  Richard Josey and Toby Moore continue their exploration of the effective measurement of service metrics and human behaviours. The body of this presentation will focus on how you gain the level of insights you need in order to make balanced choices about your services KPIs and outcomes.
 
Points covered:
·  Balancing your reliance on metrics and scorecards
·  Service intelligence: Business insights and analytics for ITSM
·  Decision making processes for service improvements. Inform, act and review
·  Understanding UX for ITSM and what insights can be gained
·  Using retrospective measuring to make proactive changes
·  Spotting trends in customer behaviours and engagement

Metrics that Matter: Perfecting the balance of people, systems and services

There are two conflicting forces upon the IT department. The move to create a digital service fabric and the legacy people, processes and technologies that currently exist that are paid for and still have some useful life.  How do you analyze this landscape, reuse what you can, modernize what you need and create a plan for the future?  This plan is needed to manage the hybrid environments we have with clouds, service management and IT as a whole.

Digital Service Management to support Digital Business

In any endeavor, having clear line of sight of the road ahead is better than “driving blind.”  The constant struggle in the IT service support and IT operations disciplines is how to move from fighting day to day fires, of repeating the same tasks over and over, to one where we become more strategic, less reactive, and have the ability to anticipate and avoid problems in the future.  

Join us as we discuss how to better utilize the operational data that exists at the Service Desk to mature Incident and Problem management, to elevate our service levels by the use of end user experience monitoring and analytics, and to advance by taking advantage of new big data possibilities.
