Overview

“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will always remember how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou

The SDI® Essence of Experience workshop explores how organisations can move beyond traditional SLA-based metrics to truly measure and improve the experience of the people they serve.

This intensive one-day workshop introduces Experience Level Agreements (XLAs) – a framework for defining, measuring, and improving user and customer experience in IT service delivery. It covers the principles of experience management, how to design XLAs, and how to use experience data to drive meaningful service improvement.

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

– Understand the concept of Experience Level Agreements (XLAs) and how they differ from SLAs
– Apply experience management principles to IT service delivery
– Design XLAs that measure what matters to users and customers
– Use experience data to identify improvement opportunities
– Understand the cultural shift required to move from SLA to XLA thinking

This workshop is suitable for:

– Service desk managers and ITSM professionals
– Customer experience and UX professionals in IT environments
– Anyone responsible for measuring and improving service quality

There are no formal prerequisites.

This is a workshop-format course. A certificate of attendance is provided. No examination.

Once upon a time, in a bustling city where glass skyscrapers kissed the sky and the hum of technology filled the air, there was a small park. This park was an oasis of greenery amidst the urban sprawl, home to a majestic oak tree that stood tall and proud. This oak had witnessed the city grow and evolve over many decades, and it had become a symbol of strength, wisdom, and resilience for the locals.

Across the street from this park, a group of visionary entrepreneurs was in the process of establishing a new consultancy firm. They wanted a name that would not only represent their commitment to providing insightful and robust solutions but also reflect their deep roots in the community and their dedication to helping businesses grow and flourish.

One crisp autumn morning, as the founders met to brainstorm names, a ray of sunlight broke through the clouds and illuminated the old oak tree in the park. Its leaves shimmered with a golden glow, casting a warm, inviting light. Inspired by this radiant sight, one of the founders suggested the name “BrightOak.” The name embodied the brilliance of innovative ideas and the steadfast strength of the mighty oak, a perfect metaphor for their consultancy.

And so, BrightOak Consultancy was born, with a mission to illuminate the path to success for businesses of all sizes, drawing on their wisdom and experience to help clients thrive in an ever-changing world. The majestic oak continues to stand as a reminder of their origins and their commitment to excellence.
