Synopsis

This book is intended to meet the need for a generic, broadly based book on service management. The managers guide provides a basic introduction on how service management best practices and standards can help a service provider to deliver services that add value for customers at the right cost and risk. It describes service management concepts and the broader service management landscape. The aim of this 6th edition is to substantially re-focus the 5th edition to give a broader based picture of the most important service management best practices, how they relate and how they can (or cannot) be used together.
