itSMF Fusion 2009: Ask the Expert--Continual Service Improvement

I attended Troy DuMoulin's "Ask the Expert--Continual Service Improvement" breakfast club discussion this morning (although I arrived a couple of minutes late).  Here are some notes from the talk:

  • some frameworks are really "quality systems" e.g. Six Sigma and EFQM
  • ISO 9000 could certify a company that produces cement life jackets--as long as you are making them consistently
  • there is a continuum from business goals, to IT goals, to IT operating models, to process frameworks, and there must be appropriate linkages between these
  • you should have fewer than 6 KPIs per process, ideally covering the areas of value measurement, quality, performance throughput, and compliance
