  Tool Design??  Strategic Convergence has arrived  All tools today are basically written to be compatible with ITIL principles and terminology  But is that enough?  Who are these tools created for?  Is Self-Help Possible? Probable? Preferable? Generational?  Can the business take advantage of the IT toolsets?  Can the tool creators take advantage of known interfaces?: Facebook, Amazon, Outlook? To accommodate the average user? © Pink Elephant, 2012. All Rights Reserved. Good Tool Design 3 ITIL® is a Registered Trade Mark of the Cabinet Office in the United Kingdom and other countries.

  Tool Design??  What about us?  Service Desk Analysts have been complaining about tools for years: Too slow? Too cumbersome? Too many categories, etc.  Training? Ramp-Up Time?  Managers demand: “Record every call”!! Every contact  Mac & Windows have created scenario-based actions  Could the tools simplify the choices for the Analyst as they progress rapidly through the incident?  Could we go beyond a “macro”?  Would analysts benefit from familiar interfaces as well?  Incident Management is all about TIME! © Pink Elephant, 2012.
