BUILDING AN IT SERVICE CATALOG FROM SCRATCH
In this session, Glenn Setliff will demonstrate how to create a business-oriented, professional IT service catalog. Done right, service catalogs can improve efficiency and increase value. Glenn will break the development down into three areas of focus: defining service categories, identifying individual services within these categories, and defining individual services so they make sense to the business and IT. To bring these three areas back together, Glenn will provide an example from his organization’s service catalog, explaining how they broke one of their service categories (videography) down into a set of highly efficient, measurable, and clearly defined services.
Glenn Setliff
Director, Information Technology
Duke University, School of Nursing

Quality is a word that you hear so often but it frequently lacks real substance because of the varying definitions that most people seem to have. Quality is subjective, relying upon many factors from one’s life experiences to their very interpretation of the word. Quality has many definitions and degrees of excellence, spanning a wide range of examples. What does it mean then to drive and deliver quality in Service Management?
To truly deliver quality service, organizations need quality people with the right skills; quality processes based on best practices that align with business needs; quality technology to enable those processes; quality assurance program to inspect the processes and results; and quality metrics to measure success.
This one-day workshop, presented by the renowned Malcolm Fry, is a fun, informative, and productive learning experience about the Power of Quality. The workshop contains a series of breakout opportunities that allow for networking and collaborative learning. Course participants will receive a questionnaire used to track required items for a new service that is to be implemented and supported by the Service Desk.
What You Will Learn
- Balance quality, performance, and cost
- Create sensible Service Acceptance processes; service pipeline, service catalog and service retired
- Build a quality improvement initiative
- Delegate incidents rather than escalate incidents

Who Should Attend

- Anyone interested in improving their ITSM image through statistics
- Anyone looking to improve ITSM in their organization
