IT Service Management Strategic Roadmap

COURSE OVERVIEW

As a senior stakeholder, program manager or IT Service Management (ITSM) champion you have a goal to move your organization from its current state to one that embraces service management principles and best practices. How do you get started on this major task and what critical knowledge do you need to consider from a People, Process, Product and Partner perspective?

At Pink Elephant our experience shows us that ITSM projects are really transformation initiatives requiring careful planning and management of Attitudes, Behavior and Culture. From this perspective we can provide the following lessons learned from hundreds of customer engagements.

• ITSM/ITIL® projects are actually transformation programs requiring significant shifts in behavior and cultural change across multiple groups
• Process documentation is not worth the paper it is printed on without the governance, management structures and leadership will to enforce its use
• An ITSM tool alone will never enforce new behaviors or best practices
• Most organizations fail at their initial process improvement efforts by focusing on the technology or tool elements of the project and underestimating the effort required to address the softer people and governance issues brought by the transformation effort
• Most projects reveal clear, early warning signs that the project is at risk but these signs were missed, ignored or not managed

This workshop will provide you with the strategic knowledge you will require to navigate around common pitfalls and establish an ITSM improvement project that delivers tangible results with the highest likelihood for success.
