1 (Getting & Giving) Superior Service through Measurement Bill Phifer ISMA Conference September / /
2 Agenda 2 /
3 The Bait 3 /
4 Statement(s) of Fact Poor performance by the service provider is the leading cause of organizations bringing services back in-house. This is often the result of misaligned expectations and lack of explicitly determining the expected outcomes of the service being provided. The majority of North American organizations outsourcing today are doing so without a formal sourcing strategy. Gartner, /
5 An Analogy Trying to determine service provider progress without measurement is like flying without instruments! 5 /
6 A Joke Tech Support: What s on your screen right now? Customer: A stuffed animal that my boyfriend got me at the grocery store. 6 /
7 A Story Are you a good customer? or A bad customer? 7 /
8 The Pitfall 8 /
9 Outsourcing Failures KPMG Survey of 650 organizations: 47% said service provider brought experience they didn t already have 27% said sourcing has improved competitiveness 87% said the statement that 50% of outsourcing deals fail is an oversimplification and doesn t really reflect reality 72% do not have defined measurement criteria for success 90% didn t understand opportunity costs of sourcing 79% couldn t identify the cost of the sourcing selection process 9 /
10 The Zero-sum Relationship John Nash Theory of Equilibrium When two or more players are involved in a competitive (noncooperative) situation, with all things being equal, one is going to win and one is going to lose. However, if they agree to collaborate and work together for a shared (cooperative) gain, both can likely win. 10 /
11 Unanswered Questions? We are all customers and service providers! Client: what will you do for me (or what have you done for me)? Service Provider: what are your needs, and how will I measure results against them? 11 /
12 Some (Bad) Current Outsourcing Trends As smaller organizations move to outsourcing to reduce costs, lack of sourcing and contract negotiations experience often lead to poor business outcomes from outsourcing Post-contract sourcing advice is often minimal Transparency to outsourced operations is often lacking, as vendor management functions are overloaded Outsourcing vendor sales and delivery are sometimes not aligned, leading to unrealistic expectations that can not be met Source: Forrester, 2006 Sourcing is a tool - it is only as good as those managing it 12 /
13 Expectations - 1 I want a quality product She needs us to deliver faster Is this a shared understanding? 13 /
14 Expectations - 2 We need to close Service Desk tickets more quickly Their Service Desk needs to resolve more incidents with the first call Is this a shared understanding? 14 /
15 What is Value? Value is defined as the customer s overall assessment of the usefulness of a product or service based on the customer s perception of the realized benefit versus the cost. Useful Quality Cost Benefit 15 /
16 What is Customer Satisfaction? Customer Satisfaction is defined as the difference between the customers expectation for a product or service and the customers perception of the delivered product or service. 16 /
17 Client/Service Provider Gap Model Perception (Gap 1) (Gap 2) (Gap 3) Customer Expectations Word of Mouth Customer Needs Past experience Perception of Customer Expectations Product or Service Specification External Communications to Customer Service Delivery -People - Environment - Technology - Process Improvement - Systems and Methods Delivery Customer Perception of Product or Service (Gap 4) Performance 17 /
18 In Search of Client Service Excellence Basic technology metrics alone do not drive the right behavior or results Rigid contracts have been proven not to meet business needs Clients want to look beyond technology to the business drivers for IT IT is not the client 18 / Source: Forrester, 2005
19 Hard Questions How do you evaluate progress against customer goals for sourcing? Value received? Savings (time, money)? Completion of dirty jobs that we can t or won t do? Cost of capital (NPV)? Ability to focus on core business? 19 /
20 Measurement s Fault? A 2005 Forrester survey indicated that despite the fact that outsourcers were broadly meeting their clients service level agreements (SLAs), many described outsourcing relationships as difficult and uncomfortable. Instead of falling back on measuring what they know and are comfortable with usually the traditional IT operational metrics both sides should align performance measurement with the key objectives and expectations of the outsourcing initiative and couch metrics in terms of business outcomes. 20 /
21 So Can we agree that: 1. Clients do not start out as experts in sourcing (or measurement) 2. Measurement is needed to ensure that service provider commitments are achieved 3. Reasonable and achievable service level agreements are a start but not sufficient 4. Zero sum contracts and relationships don't work; both sides must gain from the relationship 5. The relationship ultimately should be evaluated on business value that comes from the synergy of client organization and service provider 21 /
22 The Rescue 22 /
23 Two Models for Improving Outsourcing escm-sp: for Service Providers escm-cl: for Clients The esourcing Capability Models from Carnegie Mellon University s ITSqc are designed to share a set of sourcing best practices that benefit both clients and service providers 23 /
24 Why Another Model? escm is a proven (but still emerging) standard for ITenabled sourcing This best practice model works equally well with insourcing, multi-sourcing and full outsourcing The escm models provide a clear scope of capabilities needed and a framework for evaluation We should measure progress related to a standard rather than simply define a baseline for improvement escm Adapted from the Systems and Software Consortium Quagmap TM 24 /

44 Outsourcing Hierarchy of Needs The evolution of client relationships follows a hierarchy of needs: Until the basics are right, you have not earned the right to move up the pyramid of satisfaction Basic Sourcing Measurement True Strategic Partnership Business Transformation Initiatives Business-oriented Metrics Technology Service Levels 44 / Source: Forrester, 2005
45 Sourcing Relationship Analysis In studies of less successful sourcing relationships, a hard commercial process often left the vendor with no room to deliver and still remain profitable, or there was a complete mismatch of culture or expectations - in spite of growing recognition of the importance of cultural fit For both sides, best practices that promote successful outsourcing contracts include understanding how to measure and manage soft issues like culture and innovation and building a mutually beneficial relationship that doesn t stand or fall by the letter of the contract. (or)? 45 / Source: Forrester, 2005
46 Context for Sourcing Measurement What to measure??? 46 /
47 Why Companies Outsource Support change in overall management philosophy Allow companies to focus on core competencies Convert relatively fixed allocated cost to variable direct costs Take the IT function to the next level of capability Improve time to market Financial reasons Facilitate best of breed implementation Leverage business critical infrastructure Change the culture and re-skill IT Extend global reach to international locations Reduce costs Shift costs to later years Fund development Dispose of overvalued assets Form preferred supplier relationships Reduce procurement costs Improve service levels Secure access to best resources Convert legacy system resources Focus resources on new development 47 / Source: TPI

Build estimation model, tracking model, and technology performance & capacity model. Implement knowledge sharing & optimization. Optimize models. Delivery Contract specific measures Track & control engagement and supplier/ partner performance. Measure & improve organizational performance. Implement performance engineering. Maintain continual improvement. Completion Perform root-cause analysis; account for resources transferred back. Institute organizational measurement; maintain service continuity. Transfer knowledge. Ongoing Profit & performance Maintain engagement-byengagement performance & status. Perform engagement resources and conformance measurements Maintain consistency. Reduce variation from engagement to engagement. Achieve internal business objectives. 50 / Benchmark internal capability baselines and external businesses. Seek worldclass innovation. Paulk, et al Maintain continual improvement.
51 The Role of Function Points (For application outsourcing) Size the application portfolio (establish a baseline to measure productivity over time) Measure new functionality provided for application development or changes "Maintenance scope" (# of FPs maintained per resource) Must provide context such as complexity and maintainability 51 /
52 Service Level Agreements Experience has taught companies how to develop a robust set of SLAs for the contract. But without context and further levels of control, there will never be a mutually beneficial relationship. Both sides should align performance measurement with the key objectives and expectations of the outsourcing initiative and couch metrics in terms of business outcomes. 52 /
53 A Word on Innovation If it's not in the contract or cost model, clients should not expect it (innovation costs money) However, this is mattering less to clients, who believe they are paying for continuous improvement and then not getting it. How do you measure innovation? 53 /
54 The Call to Action 54 /
55 To Do s Download the escm models and review them Map your current processes to the model practices at various levels (engagement, industry, enterprise) if you are a client, consider using escm- CL as a model for sourcing effectiveness; apply it together with your service provider If you are a service provider, consider adopting the model and perform a baseline appraisal and bring your clients along 55 /
56 Recommendations (1) Establish clear rules of engagement, governance and transparency (program status, issues, and risks) between parties Then focus on mutually establishing fair measures of performance for service providers that tie to the business objectives of the client; make exceptional performance financially rewarding Develop a community of trust by participating in mutually beneficial collaborations that advance value creation for the client and also provide a fair return for the service provider 56 /
57 Recommendations (2) Align cultures your common attitude to people, processes, performance, values, outlook, and expectations of each other. Commit the resources you ll need to build and actively manage your sourcing relationships Measure performance as quantitatively as possible to supplement the trust you ve built with your service providers Tie performance to profitability (and penalties) 57 /
58 Begin with the End in Mind Be a good customer - tell your service provider exactly what you want and then measure to your expectations Be a good service provider - identify a baseline of performance and then manage to improve it Both: negotiate a contract that is fair to both and that provides synergies and winwin opportunities (rather than zero-sum) 58 /
59 Summary Consider the value of the client & service provider relationship as pivotal to the success of the sourcing initiative Look at the Carnegie Mellon University IT Services Qualification Center esourcing Capability Models to enhance client & service provider relationships Measure success! 59 /
