University of Bachstein (UoB)
The UoB is a university that is based Germany, with a satellite campus in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In the past,
some IT services were funded and run centrally, and some were funded and run independently by each faculty. Centrally owned services include a ‘walk-in’ service desk, plus a separate service desk in the main library, run by library staff. Library services and IT are both part of the university’s administrative services division. Recently, under a new CIO, there has been a drive to centralize and consolidate IT as a corporate function, although this has not been fully achieved.
The central IT department runs a variety of legacy systems, which serve students, administrators, researchers and academics. It also runs some high performance computing systems and high bandwidth networks across the main campus area.

The IT department at the UoB does not have a service catalogue or a service portfolio, and there is limited
understanding of the structure and value of services in the organization. Many of the individual departments
and faculties are resistant to the CIO’s vision for global services.
They have decided to appoint business relationship managers (BRMs) who will be expected to address many
of the challenges, in order to support collaboration and help to define global services. Some business analysts
are going to be transferred to these new positions.
One of the BRMs has had an improvement idea for implementing a de-centralized support model that can be actioned quickly. The BRM proposed implementing the improvement in the next three months. The improvement was rejected by the CIO who has suggested that the idea should never have been proposed.
Which tool should the BRM have used to predict the CIO’s response at this early stage?
