ITIL is a set of non-proprietary, comprehensive, well-documented and fully integrated set of management procedures and best practices that optimises IT service management and IT/business alignment. With over 20,000 businesses, governments and non-profit organisations using it, ITIL is the most widely accepted IT process management framework in the world. But has it worked? Many IT organisations suffer from poor perceptions of value and feel powerless to improve the situation. IT's top challenge right now is to build and demonstrate value to the rest of the organisation - be that commerce, government or academia. How are CIO's and their IT Service Managers to leverage ITIL and ITSM to meet that challenge head on and win? Do not be content with prepared remarks alone. Go one-on-one with Gerard, asking the tough questions, eliciting the most revealing replies. Trends are confirmed. Illusions shattered. News is broken. Live on the breakfast briefing stage. Summary ----------------- You are cordially invited to attend an IT Service Management breakfast session presented by The Art of Service.
