Streamlining Workflows, Customer Journeys, Value Streams, and Capabilities with USM

As an Enterprise Service Management Architect I help reduce complexity and achieve sustainable improvements with the USM Method: a unique proposition from a non-profit position. Service Management will never be the same again.

In my latest book, “Unified Service Management, An Introduction to the USM Method”, I summarize the lessons learned from the past, into a single book on the topic of service management architecture and service management systems. In less than 200 pages, the book unlocks the future of Service Management.
