Overview

Are you looking to build, improve, or expand your IT service catalog or enterprise service portal? This Learning Lab is for you! Learn how to design customer-focused services and create a service catalog or portal with the user experience in mind.

Services are the core of any service management program or service catalog effort. A strong core enables a high level of performance while a weak core can limit performance. Intentional service design can yield tremendous benefits, resulting in more durable and inclusive services. It can ensure delivery of services customers actually want and enable service delivery improvements, providing increased value over time.

This interactive and collaborative workshop, delivered by contributing authors of the popular EDUCAUSE Service Model paper, will empower you to strengthen your "service core," preparing you to build or improve your service catalog and positioning you for improved IT or Enterprise Service Management (ITSM/ESM) program performance.
