Traditional service management has focused heavily on processes, SLAs and operational metrics. However, organisations are increasingly recognising that meeting targets does not always equate to a positive customer or employee experience.

The session will examine how Experience Management can complement existing ITSM practices and support the delivery of greater business value.
