Evolution or revolution, the question that matters. At the ServiceNow World Forum in London, Nick Tzitzon put it best: “AI doesn’t decide whether it’s evolutionary or revolutionary, people do.”
That’s true for ServiceNow too. The smartest leaders aren’t asking what the platform can do? They’re asking how far we should go right now?
What is an evolutionary ServiceNow strategy?
Evolution means fixing what you have first. Small, measured improvements that increase adoption without major disruption:
- Simplifying the Employee Center experience
- Cleaning up service catalogues and forms
- Tuning search and taxonomy
- Reducing clicks and noise
Monochrome’s UX accelerators identify these low-cost, high-impact fixes. We reclaim value from what you already own, a smart move in a tight economy.
When to go revolutionary
Revolutionary moments come when behaviour must change, not just process. That’s when you:
- Redefine journeys around outcomes, not departments.
- Introduce AI-powered self-service and predictive routing.
- Move to Employee Center Pro or a unified enterprise portal.
Monochrome designs these leaps through human-centred workflows that bring users with you, not against you. It’s transformation with empathy, not chaos.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know which approach to choose?
Ask what outcome you need most now. If it’s productivity, evolve. If it’s innovation, revolutionise. Often, it’s a mix.
How long should a UX transformation take?
Quick wins should land in 4–6 weeks. Major redesigns take 3–6 months depending on scope.
What are the fastest measurable UX metrics in ServiceNow?
Search success rate, task completion time, and call deflection percentage. These prove immediate ROI.

We’ve spent 12+ years refining this balance for some of the world’s biggest brands. Our UX-first approach blends data, design, and ServiceNow expertise to build experiences that work now and scale later.
We evolve what works, rebuild what doesn’t, and measure every step in between.
The takeaway
You don’t have to gamble between small steps and bold change. Great ServiceNow design evolves where it can and revolutionises where it must, always led by people, not platforms.
