Our model vastly simplifies the process and delivers exceptional results. It allows us to create and implement change programs that are pragmatic, effective and deliver expected return to our customers.

Strategic Planning

Strategic Planning

Through a series of interactive workshops with key stakeholders, we define the following:

  • The organisational strategy and how should back office service management support and drive the strategy
  • The customer and quantify the benefits that service management needs to provide to them
  • Internal and external resources that are required to fulfil the service management vision

 

Key Outputs are:

  • A documented Strategic Plan that covers the business benefits that Service Management needs to deliver. This typically spans a three-year period.
  • An Operational Plan that includes a work plan for the next 12 months. This work plan ensures the delivery of the objectives agreed in the Strategic Plan.

This is done through a series of workshops, data collection and process analysis designed to provide a detailed understanding of how the back office service management platform needs to function. The following are typically undertaken:

  • Workshops with process owners and Subject Matter Experts to understand current business processes and business rules, pain points, and areas of opportunity.
  • Familiarisation workshops with process owners and Subject Matter Experts so that they understand functionality available in Cherwell Service Management ‘out of the box’.
  • Workshops with process owners and Subject Matter Experts to define detailed Business Requirements and User Stories.
  • Meetings with key process stakeholders identifying operational level activities undertaken to support the existing business processes. This is also where we define and agree the new processes where process changes and improvements are going to be effective.
  • Data collection of key process outputs and service management content such as Teams/Squads, Users, Organisational structure, Service Catalogue, Product Catalogue.
