In the realm of IT, the Double Diamond model of design thinking often remains an uncharted territory, while IT In the realm of IT, the Double Diamond model of design thinking often remains an uncharted territory, while IT Service Management frameworks like ITIL are unfamiliar to many human-centered designers. Yet, beneath the surface, both frameworks share a common objective: the enhancement of service delivery and user experience. However, their paths to achieving this goal differ and are even contradictory.
ITSM relies on the premise that adhering to best practices will yield the desired user experience. In stark contrast, the Double Diamond model challenges these assumptions. It discards preconceived notions and embraces research, empathy, divergent thinking, and various other techniques before implementing a solution.
This workshop will explore how the Double Diamond model can revolutionize ITSM processes by exploring the intersection of these two worlds.
Our discussion will uncover the brilliance of the Double Diamond model and its capacity to refine ITSM processes. By dissecting the overlaps and disparities between the Double Diamond model and ITSM, we will provide actionable insights and recommendations on integrating these approaches.
Attendees will gain an understanding of how the Double Diamond model can assist ITSM professionals in identifying and prioritizing user needs, prototyping and testing solutions, and elevating service quality.
We will also address common challenges and misconceptions encountered when applying design thinking to ITSM, including the framework's role, the significance of collaboration, and the necessity of balancing creativity with pragmatism.
Our goal is for participants to depart with a clear roadmap for applying the Double Diamond model to ITSM, thereby fostering a culture that is more attuned to user needs and dedicated to delivering the right user experience.
