In Part 2 of Humanising IT: We Need to Talk About IT, Katrina Macdermid is joined by Chris Barrett and Paul Farrow, Head of IT Service at HM Treasury, to explore why traditional IT service management metrics don't tell the full story.
The conversation looks beyond incidents, SLAs and ticket volumes to discuss behavioural psychology, user-centred design, employee experience and why IT leaders need to rethink how they measure success.
Drawing on concepts such as Norman Doors, desire paths, customer behaviour and value-based reporting, the panel explores how IT can move from simply keeping systems running to becoming a recognised driver of organisational value.
In this episode:
- Why IT service management is about making defensible trade-offs
- How behavioural psychology can improve IT services
- What "Norman Doors" teach us about service design
- Why IT measures what's easy instead of what matters
- The gap between operational metrics and business outcomes
- How employee experience influences organisational performance
- Why desire paths reveal how users really behave
- The future of value-led IT service management
Whether you're a CIO, IT leader, service desk manager, ITSM professional or transformation leader, this episode offers practical ideas for creating better services while demonstrating the value IT delivers.
If you're interested in IT service management, IT leadership, employee experience, human-centred design, ITIL, digital transformation, service experience and organisational change, this conversation is well worth your time.
