01 — ABOUT

VINCENT
DEFARGE.

Operations, Reliability and Service Management — viewed through an industrial lens.

I work at the intersection of technology, operations and service management. My focus is simple: build operating models and services that are reliable, understandable and continuously improving.

CURRENT ROLE
Head of Service Management Office
MICHELIN · IT OPERATIONS & SERVICES MANAGEMENT
FOCUS

Reliable services that create value.

APPROACH

Industrial thinking, practical execution.

MINDSET

Measure, learn, improve. Repeat.

BELIEF

People make the system work.

02 — WHAT I DO

BUILDING THE
CONDITIONS
FOR GOOD OPERATIONS.

My work sits where technology meets the reality of running a large organization.

I work on services, processes, operating models and continuous improvement — connecting strategy with what teams actually experience in production.

That means looking beyond individual incidents or tools and asking a broader question: how do we make the system easier to operate well?

01

OPERATIONS

Designing the way services are run, supported and improved.

02

RELIABILITY

Building predictable services and stronger recovery mechanisms.

03

SERVICE MANAGEMENT

Connecting technology, processes, people and business value.

04

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

Turning operational signals into better systems and better ways of working.

03 — WHY OPERATIONS LAB

THE LAB IS A PLACE
TO THINK OUT LOUD.

Operations Lab is my personal space to explore ideas, connect disciplines and share what I learn from operating technology at scale.

Industrial environments have a lot to teach digital operations: standards, visual management, problem solving, resilience and the discipline of continuous improvement. Operations Lab is where I explore those connections.

04 — MY APPROACH

FROM
INCIDENTS
TO SYSTEMS.

An incident is an event. The operating system around it is the real subject.

I am interested in the mechanisms behind performance: signals, roles, standards, decision paths, service design, feedback loops and the conditions that allow teams to perform consistently.

The goal is not to eliminate every failure. It is to create systems that detect earlier, recover faster and learn from what happened.

05 — THE JOURNEY

ALWAYS
LEARNING.
