Awareness is a critical success factor in ITSM and ESM projects. All too often, the focus is exclusively on processes, tools, and structures—and not enough on the people who are expected to drive these changes. This quickly leads to resistance, low acceptance, and project outcomes that fall short of expectations.
This is exactly where we come in: For us, awareness is not an afterthought, but an integral part of every project. We foster a shared understanding of the purpose and benefits, actively involve employees, and equip leaders with the tools they need to serve as role models. This fosters acceptance, motivation, and a genuine willingness to embrace change.
The result: Your organization views ITSM and ESM not as a mandated project, but as an opportunity. Processes are put into practice, changes are firmly established—and your service management initiative achieves the desired impact for teams, management, and stakeholders.
Your Challenge
Many service management projects fail not because of technology or processes—but because people are not involved. Typical obstacles include:
- Lack of understanding of the benefits of ITSM / ESM
- Resistance to new roles, processes, or tools
- Unclear communication and a lack of transparency
- Low acceptance when change is perceived as “imposed from above”
Without targeted awareness-raising efforts, project success often falls short of expectations.
The Approach
Awareness means fostering a shared understanding: Why are we doing this? How does it benefit me personally, the team, and the entire organization? We combine ITSM and ESM best practices with proven change management approaches. This ensures that employees, managers, and stakeholders recognize the added value—and actively participate in shaping the change.
Our Services
Our awareness services for ITSM/ESM projects include:
- Stakeholder Analysis & Communication: Understanding Target Audiences and Delivering Targeted Messages.
- Awareness Workshops: Actively engage employees, highlight the benefits, and address questions.
- Business Simulations: Experience rather than just understand—with proven simulations such as Apollo 13, MarsLander or Agile Park —we provide hands-on understanding of ITSM, ESM, agility, and collaboration.
- Change Management: Identifying Resistance and Resolving It Constructively.
- Awareness materials: guides, visuals, and internal campaigns for sustainable communication.
- Training & Coaching: Empowering Leaders and Influencers to Serve as Ambassadors.
The Results
- Greater acceptance: Employees understand the purpose and actively support it.
- Greater motivation: Teams see the benefits for their work and feel a sense of ownership toward the project.
- Sustainable success: Service processes are not only implemented but also put into practice.
- A Culture of Sustainable Change: Your organization will become more adaptable and resilient.
