IT service by design

IT service by design

Just another book. Well, quite a nice one if you ask me. Best one yet? We (written with Catherine Zuim Florentino - it was her idea) certainly had fun writing it. I think we have discovered some novel perspectives, too.

It's about the application of design thinking to IT service. The title should have been "Emergent IT service systems by design because you can only macro-design the service system so that it can micro-design the services itself", but that seemed a bit clunky.

This is the core framework. Simply brilliant.

We also explore familiar dysfunctions such as service level theatre, workplace colonization, digital coercion and survey weaponization. And their anti-patterns, of course.

But wait - there's more - here's the table of contents.

We have just given the draft to a few kind people to say unkind things about it. If you understand design thinking or are interested in it, and have time for a high, medium or low-level review before December 16th, please get in touch.

If you still need a reviewer, let me know and can I share it with the workgroup within NORA? (NORA Expertgroep Dienstverlening)

Well, I have received and processed the first review - just 34 to go... Joost van den Reek suggested that a figure would clarify the various "service" terms, so I added this.

Great idea! I'd love to review it from the agile nerd perspective, if you don't mind to have one more reviewer, Mark! ??
