How to Demonstrate Value - The CSI Building Blocks

Today, simply meeting the service commitments of the business consistently may no longer be considered enough. Your business customers will over time have an expectation of increasing ‘value’ from their investment in the IT services you provide. Continual Service Improvement (CSI) provides an opportunity to exploit the insight, knowledge and skills of your people to identify and drive improvements to your IT services that add value to the customer and begin to positively influence their perception of getting value for money from their IT service provider.
