Think Differently - Customer Centric ITSM Technology is nothing. You ve got to start with the customer experience and work back towards the technology not the other way around. Steve Jobs We ve had three big ideas at Amazon that we ve stuck with for 18 years, and they re the reason we re successful: Put the customer first. Invent. And be patient. Jeff Bezos Nothing signals your lack of commitment to customer experience more than forcing them to wait in queue to get services from a human being that could have been done by themselves on their own time. In an era of cloud computing and ubiquitous mobile devices, there is no excuse for not using software to manage the routine it is faster, cheaper, and way more accurate. Failure to automate is tantamount to not giving a damn. Geoffrey Moore Start with the Customer and it will change what you do 6
