Deloitte presents: Going live? How ESM can reduce the risk and paperwork

Your project deadline is looming and there’s a newly discovered mountain of paperwork from the ops, security, change management and business teams asking similar questions and risking your finely balanced plan. Why does this always occur and what can we do about it?

In our upcoming in-person and online session, we will delve into what Enterprise Service Management (ESM) can show us about this exciting and often un-nerving point of delivering change to an organisation, and how we can right-size our operational guardrails that teams put in place to provide better assurance that change won’t disrupt your organisation, with less effort and better outcomes.

We’ll explore ESM-aligned service documentation and risk-based release checklists that focus on what matters for the enduring service. We will empower both your project and stakeholder teams to understand the trade-offs and balance for your organisation; to provide solid rationale for challenging inefficient process.

We will cover:

• Obstacles faced when delivering projects and services
• ESM’s guidance to restrain bureaucracy…whilst maintaining service stability
• Release management: the controversy and the reality of landing change
• Templates and ideas you can take back to your organisation
