Things to avoid when implementing Service Management
By Danielle J. Baker

  • Don’t try to do it without professionals
  • Don’t bury it in operations
  • Don’t farm it out to contractors
  • Don’t design process around tools
  • Don’t roll out processes in silos
  • Don’t try to roll out more than 3 processes at a time
  • Don’t try to force it down people’s throats
  • Don’t do it for the sake of doing it
  • Don’t think that training will solve all problems
  • Don’t do it if you are not willing to go all the way
  • Don’t plant it on the Titanic (on a sinking ship)
