@michaellittle
Service Delivery Manager improving ITIL services, SLA performance, and customer experience.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Service Delivery Manager with a strong track record of improving live service performance across public, commercial and healthcare IT environments. I work in ITIL-aligned service management, using operational reporting and stakeholder engagement to drive continual service improvement.
I’ve increased SLA compliance from 88% to 98%, raised customer satisfaction to 98.67%, and reduced resolution times by 42%. I also improved first-time fix rates by 28% through workflow optimisation, knowledge management, coaching, and structured 1:1 development.
I develop and embed ITIL-aligned process documentation and operating procedures across Incident Management, Service Request Fulfilment, Change Enablement and Project Management—strengthening governance and service maturity across NHS and commercial IT environments. I also deliver continual service improvement across VIP support and client-facing service environments, improving service culture, escalation management, and operational resilience.
Across my roles, I’ve led high-performing support teams (including 10 direct reports) and chaired daily operational reviews to coordinate engineers, suppliers, and senior stakeholders. I’m known for improving KPI/SLA reporting, strengthening access governance initiatives (RBAC, role clarity, controlled escalation routes), and using tools like ServiceNow to automate and optimise service operations.
