How have we been modernizing IT Service Management to go outside of traditional IT measures to a more business-centric KPIs? Could you kindly provide some examples of measures on this direction?

Modern IT Service Management (ITSM) is transitioning from traditional, technology-focused metrics to business-centric Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) by aligning IT performance with business outcomes like revenue, growth, and competitive advantage. This is achieved by focusing on value-based reporting, understanding the business's strategic goals, and measuring the actual impact of IT services on customer satisfaction, user experience, and operational efficiency.

Customer Dissatisfaction is also another measuring KPI now a days which will provide a transparent measure of the Business Success and experience of the end user.

It is best thing if we are able to do and organise  our IT tools to reflect that metrics  effectively.

How we need to do is create a data funnel by adding custom parameters in our monitoring. Now there could be two parallel ingestion pipelines around technical and business KPIs. 
One traditional problem has been handling the PII and other sensitive data in the pipeline. Normally there should not be any printing any customer data in logs but if there is a way to just crunch the numbers out of IT services, it can be achieved upto some extent.

We did something similar where we had two dashboards one for tech support and one for business and we could manage all KPIs using that dashboard.
