Service owner – key role for service excellence and sustainable transformation
Industry: Healthcare | Period: 12 months | Team size: 1 consultant
The role of the service owner is at the heart of every modern service organization. In the course of the multi-stage transformation of a previously decentrally managed company in the healthcare sector into a nationwide, integrated organization, service owners are becoming the mainstay of service excellence and efficiency. The aim is to standardize IT services within the group of companies in the long term, leverage synergies and clearly define roles and responsibilities. To ensure that the service owners and their service teams deliver top performance across all locations, a special change management procedure including enablement, communication and training was developed to provide consistent support in the redesign and initialization of services.
Challenge: New organizational structure and development of service owners
- From decentralized to integrated: The nationwide realignment requires a clear distribution of roles – service owners must be strengthened in their functions and empowered in a uniform manner.
- Redesign of the service portfolio: In the course of the transformation, every service, especially support, becomes a key component for implementing the new strategy.
- Ensuring interfaces and responsibilities: Services and service owners must be clearly positioned, interfaces clearly clarified and smooth contact between management, owners and teams facilitated.
- Qualification and integration: Service owners need standardized tools, methods and communication formats to be able to act successfully as managers and change agents.

Targeted enablement, coaching and the development of sustainable communication and collaboration structures laid the foundations for a nationwide, harmonized service offering.
