23 September 2013 | Driving Service Improvement Programs using 'CMMI for Services' - A best practice approach 

In today’s world organizations have to face multiple complex challenges and have been in a constant quest for solutions that enable better, cheaper and faster services that deliver business goals. Over the years, organizations have leveraged best practices from ITIL/ ISO/ Lean/ Six Sigma/PMBOK etc. to support Service excellence programs and initiatives. However, leaders of global operations are realizing that the next evolution is in institutionalizing deployment as well as boosting the business benefits while continuously enriching best practices. 

With the release and rapid massive adoption of the CMMI for Services (CMMI-SVC) – a new best practices framework oriented towards a service provider organization (internal or external), several global organizations are already reaping greater value from their Service Management programs and practices.
