It is about the Business • To define a service we must first understand the business desired outcomes that the service is designed to satisfy • This requires business Knowledge • Also of sales, marketing, economics, etc • Knowledge is more than facts – Why! Why! Why! • Communication is critical • Perspective: Perception; Preference • IT must enable business outcomes to be achieved. Whitireia Polytechnic
