From MTTR and availability metrics to customer churn, technical debt and EBITDA, Chris explains why IT has become trapped in operational reporting while the boardroom is having value conversations without them. The discussion explores why frameworks like ITIL do exactly what they were designed to do, but why organisations also need a "translation layer" that connects IT performance with the outcomes executives actually care about. If you're a CIO, IT leader, IT service management professional, transformation leader or consultant, this episode will challenge the way you think about measuring success and communicating the value of IT. In this episode: Why IT is often missing from value conversations The difference between operational metrics and business value Why MTTR means nothing to the board without context How customer churn, technical debt and EBITDA should influence IT reporting Why IT frameworks aren't the problem The "translation layer" every IT organisation is missing Why procurement communicates value better than IT How IT leaders can earn a seat at the board table If you're interested in IT service management, IT leadership, ITIL, digital transformation, CIO leadership, business value, service experience and modern IT operations, this conversation is essential viewing.
