Standard plus Case: the new way to think about service response
These are exciting times for the IT Skeptic: my new approach to service response - for most readers of this blog that means Service Desk - is getting a lot of attention and positive feedback. That's because it is simple, common sense, and low cost and low impact to adopt. If you do any sort of responding to situations - incidents, requests, problems, changes, events... - then Standard+Case will help you improve.
The sort of feedback I am getting from people is
- how it resonates with their own experience (of course! I am just framing reality, giving us a structure to think about what happens now)
- how it has solved some issue they were thinking about
- how it has revealed something to them, given them a new insight
I am humbled that so many people are getting so many positive returns from this approach.
Here are some recent resources to introduce you to Standard+Case.
