Clearly Define Your Goals and Metrics for the Success of Your SPM Implementation
SPM platforms like ServiceNow’s have countless applications for companies and are designed to fit a large variety of business models. For that reason, having a clear idea of what services you want to get out of your ITBM software is essential. Think about the workflow challenges your company has, identify time-consuming processes that could be streamlined, and consider where the organization could improve. Begin by implementing features that address these issues directly and grow from there.
Involve Leadership Before Planning the Implementation to Ensure Their Needs are Met
Getting your leadership involved from the beginning allows them to be involved in the process of implementing an SPM system. Identifying the ways in which these platforms can benefit their own workflow and provide solutions to the challenges they face in their day to day tasks can help leadership stay involved and play a role in the implementation process. Their participation will also help streamline the transition into your new platform and keep the business engaged in the changes in your workflow while avoiding bumps in the road along the way.
Create a Long-Term SPM implementation Plan
When implementing an SPM plan, it’s of course important to take a look at your business’ immediate needs and to ensure that your platform addresses them accordingly. However, an important component of transitioning to a platform like ServiceNow is understanding how the program can help your business achieve its long-term goals as well. In creating a long-term plan, it is important to think about how the SPM program could affect or modify different aspects of your companies’ workflow. It’s also important to create a plan that addresses who will regulate or manage the system and who will be authorized to make decisions or changes to the platform. Thinking about those aspects early will maximize the business’ experience and ensure that any problems you may encounter in the future are addressed quickly and efficiently.
Formulate a Proof of Concept (POC)
Not everyone will understand or appreciate the many benefits that an SPM platform can bring to a company. Creating and presenting a proof of concept (POC) can help leadership or stakeholders visualize the benefits of introducing such a system to the company. These presentations will not only demonstrate the true potential of a ServiceNow platform but will also help explain how business operations can be streamlined, organized, and amplified with the transition to an SPM program.
