VeriSM is a framework that describes a service management approach from the organizational level, looking at the end to end view rather than focusing on a single department. Based around the VeriSM model, it shows organizations how they can adopt a range of management practices in a flexible way to deliver the right product or service at the right time to their consumers. VeriSM allows for a tailored approach depending upon the type of business you are in, the size of your organization, your business priorities, your organizational culture – and even the nature of the individual project or service you are working on.Rather than focusing on one prescriptive way of working, VeriSM helps organizations to respond to their consumers and deliver value with integrated service management practices.Service management plays a leading role in digital transformation. Digital transformation looks outward; with a hyper-focus on the consumer experience. Service management can help shift the mindset from ’inside-out’ to ’outside-in’ by developing effective, transparent principles that help deliver services that are valuable to the customer. All organizational capabilities must understand: – How does the organization enable and deliver value?– What are the supply chains within an organization that support value delivery?– How do the individual capabilities contribute to or support these supply chains to deliver value?
VeriSM: Unwrapped and Applied, the second volume within the VeriSM series, extends the information in the first volume VeriSM: A Service Management Approach for the Digital Age. It shows how VeriSM applies to the digitally transforming organization. This includes information around what digital transformation is, approaches to digital transformation and its implications for the entire organization, especially the people.

Within this content, a case study is used to illustrate how to apply the model for each stage and to show the expected outcomes. Implications for the entire organization are stressed throughout the entire volume, reinforcing the concepts of enterprise strategy tying together the organizational capabilities to produce consumer-focused products and services. The second part of the book also includes a wealth of case studies, stories and interviews from organizations and individuals who have a digital transformation journey to share.
