IT Service Catalogs are dangerous. It’s easy to create hundreds of services, fast – with little oversight – and it will kill your Service Catalog initiative. Your customer will see it as inconsistent, complex and confusing – and stop coming. It doesn’t have to be that way. Evergreen shares best practices on creating and using a consistent Service Design Process. It actually saves time, simplifies your work, and gives you consistent quality. And it will make your customers happy.
Visit our website for the recorded webinar where we also demonstrate these best practices in our beautiful and innovative, customer-centric Service Catalog built with ServiceNow.

work…can’t we just start building services?

14. The Service Design Model
A Service Design Model is a process framework for building services
What it does for you:
• It helps communicate the mechanics of
a service end to end
• It helps everyone understand the big
picture and their role in it
• The model breaks "the service and
operations problem" down into logical
bite-sized chunks
• It facilitates decision making / trade-offs
as to where and how resources are
used
• Key executive / stakeholder and
change team communication tool
• Factual approach to expand the debate
from tactical to strategic – i.e. from cost
reduction initiatives to ‘What are we
trying to do for the business?’

Definitions of Model Elements
The Business Processes
factors show the core
functions and processes
related to how work is
executed and delivered
The Organization and Geography factors
outline the organizational structure, locations
of where activities occur, the sourcing of
activities (external vs. internal) and the
mechanism by which implementation and
changes to the model will be managed
The Assets & Finance factors define
which activities are executed where,
the scope of the service and the
dependencies on specific assets, with
financial and accounting
considerations
The Technology &
Support factors outline the
supplications, infrastructure
and operations supporting
the business
Service Design Model
The Resources factors
outline the people
implications in terms of skills
and behaviours required, the
expected headcount
distribution and the change
implications
The Customer Experience factors link the
value proposition to the specifics of the
interactions between the customer and the
entity
The Culture factors (shadow
ring) show the values, norms
and beliefs that drive how
people in the organization act
Roadmap for Change
The Sourcing & Alliances factors
define which activities will be performed
within the organization, by other parts of
the parent groups and by external
parties
The Governance & Compliance factors outline
the oversight and management structure and the
major compliance activities (external vs. internal)
and the mechanism by which the service is
monitored and controlled.
