Hi Aale,
In relation with yours August 27 thinkings, I think the infrastructure alone is not a service, but you can offer infrastructure as service. For that you need to put some services on the table. I mean IaaS = Insfrastructure + Services, where the services may be autoprovisioning, administration, support, monitoring, help desk, consulting, etc.

I have now realized the amount of time and energy which very bright people have spent in trying to define service. It is far too difficult concept to define comprehensibly and not really central to IT Service Design.

Welcome to new members. 

I have been lately thinking that is it a mistake to define IT infrastructure as a service? Or what is the difference between infrastructure and service. Has anybody been trying to make sense of IT services?

Sylvain:

Wish that was true.

Radically put, there is no such thing as an IT project, there are only communication & organization projects. Today most IT enterprise architectures reflect the organizations' underlying business model, and thus the way employees connect between themselves, with customers & partners and the way the organization delivers value to customers. "Code is law".

A new idea came to me yesterday. I was doing a workshop on Service Desks with a very diverse group of people. Some were studying basics and some were looking for innovative ideas to improve existing operations. Somehow I had not connected the Service Desk model with Service Design but that should be obvious.

I know, started my career in the 1980's. Both of your blogs are interesting and good.

I just got stuck on the word "innovate" and started thinking how to create situations where innovation might happen and I think the key is to get the right people in the same place but of course that does not solve it alone.

Alignment is probably easier that innovation, at least succesful innovation but I believe there is a lot of room for IT innovation right now.

This subject (IT attitude & behavior) is not new. It has worsen over time.

There are tons of literature about attempts and recommendations to migrate IT to BT (Information Technology to Business Technology). Sorry to use the rear view mirror again but the subject has been an integral part of IT since long ago.

We, IT, and exceptions aside, have not managed to get out of the Operations trap.

CIOs should view their primary practices as the business basics for aligning demand and service management:

1-Develop your IT strategy using service archetypes to meet multiple business needs.
2-Commission execution to service providers committed to the business’ needs.
3-Create a service-oriented structure that can right-size service delivery by archetype.
4-Link individual and team rewards to the performance of the services they manage.

Have a look, it is (yet again) old stuff but still relevant nowadays...
