Why is it important?
Services are foundational to how OTDI delivers value to the university community. The role of Service Owner is critical to world class service delivery, customer experience, and operational excellence because they are:
- Accountable: for one or more OTDI services
- Responsible: for service performance, service resprentations, service roadmap, and the collaborative service and support experience
- Appointed: by their senior leader or manager
- Valuable: serve as point of contact for colleagues in OTDI and across the university concerning the services they "own"
This program supports Service Owners through a shared service management community, principles, practices, tools and resources, continual improvement, and outreach opportunities.
Who will benefit?
Engaged Service Owners will benefit from active participation in the program. In turn, their participation will have a positive impact on our organization, outreach opportunities, the services we provide, and the university community who use those services.
