Customers generally participate in the service process, often with direct and uncensored interactions with employees and facilities. The resulting
A successful service strategy has to be implemented through executing thorough analysis, understanding customer demand, commitment from staff/management, intense dedication and a considerable financial amount allotted for spending. Policies and procedures should be outlined and must be customer service oriented. The work -flow should promote reliable service. A comprehensive contingency plan must be in place to ensure uninterrupted service to customers in case of an unforeseen event such as a natural disaster. The customer’s need must always be considered as top priority every step of the way. There is several long-term business initiatives that are best practiced by ingraining them in the minds of employees and
The service experience includes four different aspects that must be understood before analyzing the experience: services setting, the service workers, the service customers, and the service process. The service setting is where the action or service performance unfolds (Fisk et al, 2014, p. 26). The setting can also be what the customer is unable to see (backstage). The service workers are those who work together to create the service for the customers including the seen and unseen. The service customers are the person, group, or organization receiving the service. Finally, the service process is the series of events during the service received (Fisk et al, 2014, p. 26).
This is an introductory course intended to provide the student with a mix of theoretical and practical knowledge about managing service operations in businesses such as financial services, retail hospitality, healthcare,
To an organisation, through understanding the service concept they are able to display the value of their service to the customer through communicating a key set of benefits. The services and benefits provided vary upon industry, however what individual organisations can benefit from is organisational alignment. Johnston et al.

(2013) explains that the service concept can become a blueprint that communicates to employees what service they should provide and to customers what service they should expect to receive.
Business processes comprise a set of sequential sub-processes or tasks, with alternative paths depending on certain conditions as applicable, performed to achieve a given objective or produce given outputs. Each process has one or more needed inputs. The inputs and outputs may be received from, or sent to other business processes, other organizational units, or internal or external stakeholders. Business processes are designed to be operated by one or more business functional units, and emphasize

Web. 2015). Incident reports are organized to address a security breach or address what happened after an attack on a civilian or humanity etc. This limits down damage and reduces recovery time and costs effectively.

In the initial phases of implementing the ITIL project, there are three key requirements that need to be met. Firstly, a roles and responsibilities matrix will be created to establish accountability and work objectives. I will take on the role of project manager and ensure the project is delivered on time while allocating/utilizing resources and maintaining a motivated/successful team. As project manager I will be responsible for leading the project, managing project deliverables, monitoring project progress/performance and providing regular status updates to management (Project Sponsor).

A few members of the OpsGenie team were lucky enough to attend DevOps Days DC last June. I was presented with an amazing opportunity to learn even more about development and operations and how this plays into business practices today.
