ITIL 3 Service Strategy is supposed to address this question. I wouldn't hold my breath, though. I would send to the doubters a freshly stropped example of...
I would count the number of data quality incidents opened against the CMDB. And in particular, those that have a relation to an incident against a service....
I don't know if this will help, but given that you're in the stage you are, maybe some examples of where I wished I had the CMDB would help. Maintenance...
