DESCRIPTION
#TFT12 Presentation: Standard+Case. Standard+Case is about applying a body of knowledge called Adaptive Case Management to ITSM, synthesising it with our existing ITIL process approach. This is an exciting new concept from the IT Skeptic that will radically improve the way we handle responses to any sort of "tickets". Standard+Case is applicable to Problem Management and Change Management (and Event Management...) as well as Service Desk activities. S+C applies to anything that requires a human response: there's either a standard response or there isn't. The S+C approach addresses criticisms of other Service Management approaches like ITIL for being too process-centric and not allowing knowledge workers to be empowered. S+C also provides a good skills path for service desk analysts that fits well with gamification. If you only look at one new idea this year, look at this one. It is an ITSM game-changer.

Standard+Case
• Clarifying and expanding the theory • Improving performance • Empowering knowledge workers • Improving morale • Empowering the customer
Generic “response” process
Standard Models
• Request • Incident • Problem • Change
Case Management
• medical • crime • legal • social work • audits • emergency responses • military attacks
Case Management
• a series of execution states • states are determined dynamically • external events can change the state. • options for action at each state • actions are chosen dynamically • Inputs and outputs decided
dynamically • resources chosen dynamically
o templates, checklists, content, policy, procedures, tools, people...
• states and actions are unpredictable • goals will change as the case
develops • planning is part of execution

Case unknown unfamiliar
Standard • Routine • Predictable, repeatable • Pre-planned by designers • Performed by trained process workers • Revolves around a procedural
sequence of steps; and transfer between people/groups
• Controlled by the process designer and owner
• Can (and should) be process-modelled • Defined and pre-documented • Candidates for automation • Candidates for analysis and
optimisation using statistics and observation
• Fragile in unknown exception conditions
Case • Unique • Non-repeated, unpredictable • Emergent: plan and workflow
unfold as the case goes along • Performed by knowledge workers • Revolves around knowledge and
information about the case; and collaboration between people/groups
• Controlled by the participants • Cannot be process-modelled • Documented as the case proceeds • Cannot be automated • Can analyse and optimise by
reviewing on a case-by-case basis • Robust in the face of unknown
exception conditions
People
• Collaboration • Empowerment • Skills • Motivation
Gamification
• Rank the Standard models by difficulty/risk • Give SD analysts training in each model • Give staff a badge for being certified • Some models we prefer they be executed by
a certified staff member, some models the staff member must be certified
• Only Case-certified staff members ("leveled up") deal with non-standard tickets
-> empowered knowledge workers
