Experience has become the new "must-have" in IT service management.
But applying experience design to IT is not as simple as it sounds.Human-centred design emphasises empathy and human need.
IT service management must operate within governance, security, resilience, risk, and compliance.
These worlds do not fit neatly together.
In The Experience Distortion of IT Service Management, Katrina Macdermid, award-winning author and global thought leader, explores why this tension exists and how design becomes distorted as it meets the operational realities of IT service management.
The Humanising IT(TM) Double Diamond Framework (HIT DDF(TM)) underpins this book. It adapts human-centred design to operate within governance, risk, and operational responsibility, offering a structured and defensible way to design services that honour both human experience and IT accountability, while reducing the distortion that often occurs when experience meets IT practice.
This book is for anyone who:- Designs, delivers, or supports IT services
- Wants to strengthen relationships with users and stakeholders
- Wants simpler, more human-focused ways of working
- Wants practical, immediately applicable tools, not just theory.
From service desk analysts to CIOs, and every role in between.
If you work with IT services, this book is for you.
