- Service management has been around for longer than 20 years, and it's still a bizarre area that actually nobody really can pin it down to exactly what it's about. In essence, it's about the management of services, but that's a really crass answer. What we're talking about is receiving services. Any consumer receives services. It could be a banking service or it could be a travel service or it could be a service in a restaurant or a service in a hotel or even a manufacturing service. It doesn't matter what the service is. It's about the structure and the framework about the delivery of that service. So we'd be talking about making sure the consumer gets what they need, what they're asking for, what they're prepared to pay for, and what's actually going to deliver value to them. So when we talk about service management, it's a framework of advice and guidance around the delivery of services to customers or consumers of that service.
