Agenda

ROI – How to measure?

Tool – Don’t be a fool

Reward – A part of Governance

Page 4: Measuring ROI and Rewarding IT Executives based on their Contribution to Profits

Terminology

o Incident Management – Restore service as quickly as possible following an unplanned interruption.

o Problem Management – Stop incidents from reoccurring.

o Change Management – Prompt, efficient & risk-aware handling of changes requested by the business.

Page 5: Measuring ROI and Rewarding IT Executives based on their Contribution to Profits

Company A (Incident Management)

o Last year, 4 Major Incidents caused total of $100,000 in opportunity costs.

o Mainly due to confusion on who does what, when, where, how.

o After implementing ITIL, 4 Major Incidents only caused $40,000 in opportunity costs.

o Savings due to Incident Management,

= (cost of business impact before) – (cost after ITIL implemented)

= $100,000 - $40,000 = $60,000

Page 6: Measuring ROI and Rewarding IT Executives based on their Contribution to Profits

Company A (Incident Management)

o Previously, average outage of Major Incident is 5 hours, 1,000 employees affected.

o After implementing ITIL, average outage reduced to 2 hours.

o Further savings due to Incident Management,

= (amount of downtime before) – (amount after ITIL implemented)

= (5 x 1,000) – (2 x 1,000) = 3,000 manhours saved

o Assuming average manhour is $100,

= 3,000 x 100 = $30,000 saved per Major Incident

= $30,000 x 4 = $120,000 saved per year (4 Major Incidents a year)

Page 7: Measuring ROI and Rewarding IT Executives based on their Contribution to Profits

Company B (Problem Management)

o Last year 5,500 Incidents per month, each taking an average of 5 hours to resolve.

o After implementing ITIL, Incidents reduced to 4,000 a month.

o Savings due to Problem Management,

= (average duration of resolving an Incident) x (number of Incidents eliminated)

= 5 x (5,500 – 4,000) = 7,500 manhours saved

o Assuming average manhour is $100,

= 7,500 x 100 = $750,000 saved per month

= 750,000 x 12 = $9,000,000 saved per year

Company C (Change Management)

o In 2013, there were 3 Major Changes that failed and needed to back out, causing the company $100,000.

o After implementing ITIL, there were less failed Changes costing a total of $30,000, and the amount of rework was reduced.

o Savings due to Change Management (due to failure & rework),

= (cost of failed Changes previously) – (cost of failed Changes after)

= 100,000 – 30,000 = $70,000

Tool Customisation…

Page 15: Measuring ROI and Rewarding IT Executives based on their Contribution to Profits

Watchouts!

o Process dictates how tool should work.

o Configure, not customize.

o Use MoSCoW analysis for requirements.

Benefits of Happy Employees

Gainsharing

o Gainsharing measures performance through a pre-determined formula and shares the savings with employees.

o Works best when company performance levels can be easily quantified and in a work environment that is based on openness and trust.

o Rewards only performance improvement and payouts are self-funded from savings generated.

Page 21: Measuring ROI and Rewarding IT Executives based on their Contribution to Profits

Benefits of Gainsharing

o Fosters a culture of continuous improvement

o Enhances employee focus and awareness

o Increases the feeling of ownership and accountability

o Enhances the level of involvement, teamwork and cooperation

o Supports other performance improvement efforts and helps promote positive change

o Promotes morale, pride, and more positive attitudes toward the organization

Take Away

o Always try to measure IT in a way that the business understands.

o Tools help. But be careful.

o Reward your folks!
