Presentation: Create, Innovate, Get out of the Cave
IT has evolved so quickly that the average consumer now has access to more online services and collaboration tools at home than they do at the office. Social media and collaborative technologies are setting expectations around delivery of IT services that most IT departments fail to meet. Business managers have already started to bypass their IT departments to obtain services faster and IT appears to be losing control. If IT is to maintain its reputation and deliver value, we need to change, and change fast.  This session looks at the evolution of technology and corporate IT strategy over the last few decades, highlighting the lessons we can learn from the past and predicting how we need to change to remain relevant in the future.

Patrick Bolger, Chief Evangelist, Hornbill Service Management

Guest Keynote Presentation: Knowledge Workers and the Reputation Index Economy
Measuring performance is never easy.  Fortunately in 2012 we have ways of measuring engagement of our teams with algorithms that will start to rival Google.  When page rank turns to people rank, understand the metrics that define effective collaboration will be key to education not only your organization but making sure that you always have the “credit” you deserve.  Knowledge work is based on the ability to create, consume and curate information that benefits teams, organizations and communities.  When “First call resolution” becomes “Solution Virility Index” we start to envision a world of workers who are not tied to information technology but instead enable information systems.  Welcome to the reputation economy Part one, Rise of the knowledge agent.

Guest Keynote Presentation: Is IT Service Management the Future of IT?

IT could be the heart of the modern business, IT could be the innovator of an organization, or IT could be the barrier to success.

This presentation will look at just why ITSM could make a real difference to how IT and business work together in the future, and consequently, how IT can help their business thrive.

Ovum Presentation: Fast ITSM – 20 Quick Tips for ITSM Success

ITSM and ITIL have been around for over 20 years – we(should) know how to do this although we can still tend to over-egg and complicate our projects. We need to use practical and proven guidance to help make these initiatives successful and not another well-meaning but ultimately failing and costly exercise. This presentation provides 20 simple and practical ITSM tips for success that can be carried out quickly and simply, e.g.:

  • Selling your project and getting budget
  • Building a realistic phased plan
  • Getting business people interested in what you’re doing
  • Making SLAs work for you
  • Delivering a brilliant Service Desk
  • Making Problem Management work
  • Using the right people
  • Producing appropriate documentation
  • Cutting through the culture
