The
Engagement

The
Engagement

Mozaic was asked to assess the capability of the IT department to enable the Universities business objectives. An assessment was carried out and a 3-phase transformation programme was agreed, carried out by Mozaic with the organisations’ IT department.

The Challenge

Overcoming Legacy Constraints and Underinvestment

The IT department had suffered a period of under investment resulting in the department operating in survival mode and not aligning with the Universities business objectives.

Mozaic undertook a comprehensive assessment of IT capabilities which looked at the organisational structure, Governance and tools.

This resulted in a 3-phase programme being approved and implemented with Mozaic: –

Phase 1 Stabilisation – Restructuring of IT teams and ways of working, focussed at improved IT Service Management processes and ServiceNow tooling to deliver greater consistency of operational services.

Phase 2 Transform  – Introduction of Product centric ways of working to improve business engagement and delivery of core services across the enterprise. Build of ServiceNow using SPM to improve delivery.

Phase 3 Benefits realisation and embedding – Driving industry good practice & policy through strengthened management information, SLAs & KPIs. Extended use of tooling to support business change

The Approach

A Structured, Three-Phase Path to IT Maturity
