    A number of market forces are making the world a tougher place in which to be successful as a business.

  • The Future of Business, Technology and ITSM (1 PMI PDU) Recorded: Mar 21 2013 49 mins
    Technology change continues to accelerate; bringing with it new capabilities arising from areas such as big data, cloud, consumerization, mobile, and social. Simultaneously, the pace of change for businesses is also accelerating, driven by demanding consumers, new competition, globalization, economic factors, and not to mention changing regulations. The combination of these forces are leading business areas to relentlessly pursue faster time to market, looking to take advantage of new market opportunities, and greater autonomy to select, design, and implement their own solutions satisfying their own needs. The new business is demanding faster decisions, minimizing coordination overhead without losing benefits, and greater flexibility to change direction and pursue opportunities as their organizational strategy changes. Organizations that exhibit these qualities are delivering greater market and business success and he organizations that don’t will lose out to those who do. As all these business and technology changes intersect in IT, IT sees the challenge of continuous change as it seeks to balance the goals of responsiveness to business and control of risk.

    This session will explore the intersection of the forces of change , their impact on your, your roles and how the new knowledge worker will demand the delivery of capabilities and how your ITSM implementation will change.

  • Beyond Tactical Shores: Ride the New Portfolio Management Wave (1 PMI PDU) Recorded: Mar 7 2013 46 mins
    Portfolio management is something everyone says they need, but few use it to its fullest potential; too often it’s tactical and too narrowly focused. Planning is reduced to annual budget cycles rather than strategic investment, emphasizing time over value, bogging down the demand pipeline, making it impossible to pivot when high value work is needed. This elemental disconnect frustrates business executives, IT and product organizations alike because they cannot effectively trace costs to value. Product and project teams are continually faced with bottlenecks caused by a combination of constrained resources and unforeseen dependencies. Companies are trying to combat this, but they’re not holistically; they are interested in business process and capability management, but not always linking it to planning and execution processes. They are trying to adopt Agile but in isolated projects. This tension is creating a culture shift that is forcing companies to fundamentally change the way they plan and execute. The next generation of portfolio management must be holistic, a combination of approaches and supporting technology that marries long term vision while optimizing work in ways that supports flexibility without incurring unnecessary risk.

    This presentation discusses the cultural shifts, current technology trends, and future opportunities for companies to use portfolio management to its greatest potential in order to plan strategically while managing the flow of work in a way that promotes flexibility and predictability in order to achieve greater value.

  • The Search for ROI – The Importance of Service Performance Management Recorded: Dec 13 2012 48 mins
    Service delivery organizations tend to dedicate a significant portion of their software budget to solutions that manage the “up-to -the-minute” operations such as network monitoring, application monitoring, and other infrastructure monitoring solution. That being said, one of the most important areas for automation, the contractual service level agreement, is often neglected which can put an IT organization out of alignment with business priorities.
    Misalignment is both risky and expensive. It opens up organizations to labor costs, unwarranted legal and compliance risks, and even financial penalties so it is no wonder that ROI studies in this area often produce extremely high results when these issues are taken into consideration.

    Join this webcast to learn about the cost, risk avoidance, and operational benefits that can be derived by automating contractual service level management.

  • Elevate the Service Experience: The Business Value of Service Offerings Recorded: Dec 5 2012 46 mins
    As IT focuses on providing better, more direct support to the “business of business,” the importance of what is offered as services grows dramatically. The construct of a “Service Offering” needs to reflect the business value as something end-users will request to, subscribe to…or simply “DO.” Understanding that the Service Offering is a managed construct is, of course, important. Understanding both the total cost of the service and the value is important. Understanding the relationship of the Service Offering to considerations like tenancy and role is important. Learn how the Service Catalog becomes a critical business enabler across the IT supply chain, but only if we get the “Service Offering” right!
