The Rise and Fall of the Empire - ITIL and Digital Transformation

DT is altering the food chain! Is your ecosystem adapting fast enough?

Listen to real-world examples of how some companies are evolving and transforming at an incredible rate fueled by technologies that didn’t even exist a short while ago.

No sector or industry is immune or future proofed from what’s about to follow. Traditional big business and institutions are at risk of being displaced, becoming obsolete or made irrelevant.

The pace of change is accelerating exponentially; are you adapting fast enough?

What if - there was a new service management model that could help you tap into and leverage your current investments, methods and human capital to adapt more quickly.

What if - this new service management model was self-organizing, just-in-time, low entry cost, flexible and elastic?

What if - this new service management model inspired innovation, creativity and outside the box thinking?

Would it be worth the hearing about it?

Case study examples of using better asset data to improve service, reduce cost & mitigate risk.

Smash the silo: make your key asset data available across the organization, at all times. In this section, we’ll talk a bit about how organizations often silo their support/ticketing systems off from other systems containing key asset data, and why this would matter and introduce potential waste and headaches for an organization.

The hidden costs of a long refresh cycle: Here I discuss the relationship between aged assets and the spike this can cause in support traffic. A look at gaps that can be exposed by having things like asset age, supportability, and current maintenance coverage can help with a refresh strategy.

Proper maintenance coverage: a shortcut to eased support overhead.
Here I’ll talk through a handful of real-world examples where a lack of asset oversight led to actual outages or over-payment by customers we’ve worked with.

Pitfalls of popular maintenance platforms: Discussing some of the ways in which gaps that cause support headaches are systemically introduced by popular maintenance programs such as SmartNET.

Using data to reduce Service Request Resolution Time: Lastly, talk about how to gauge and meter the soft and hard benefits of introducing better data during the support process

We look to ITIL processes like Change, Release and Configuration Management to give us more control, insight and improved performance just find massive resistance to change.
Time and again our IT improvementS eludes us because of ‘Resistance to change’.
However ‘Resistance to change’ puts the blame on the ‘Resistor’ and absolves our own ineffective and outdated way we implement change
To gain the benefits of next generation Service Management, we need next generation Organizational Change practices to get us there

Join Paul Vos as he challenges your thinking by presenting proven Organizational Change (OCM) best practices and learn how to prevent false starts and change fatigue.
Change does not have to be a frustrating tug of war, learn how to get change right in one go!

Since IT is primarily “Knowledge Work” it’s critical we understand our productivity vs. the value we create. Time is the key factor in calculating productivity. It is also important to know what value-added vs. non-value activities consume our time.

Leading organizations are tapping into a new Lean IT measurement model to better understand how to measure throughput, efficiency, effectiveness and quality of ITSM services.

There are three common measurement constraints:
1. What to measure for value creation, alignment and operational excellence.
2. Interpreting results. Many lack the skills and methods required to analyze metrics data to support corrective or preventative action.
3. Getting/trusting data. Underlying data collections systems are not designed to support analytical methods required for management decision making and/or are not trustworthy.

This session is about how savvy IT managers are implementing a new Lean IT monitoring and metrics and ITSM.

In 45 minutes we’ll cover: 
What’s Lean all about
How Lean maximizes customer value by minimizing waste
Critical to quality measurement for ITSM
Value stream mapping technique
Lean ITSM value stream metrics
Interpreting result with examples of non-value activities (waste)

Monitoring tools have always been there. Other sources also provide useful information to calculate availability and performance of IT Services.
However, not always that data contributes to provide real insight of the health of IT Services and their impact in business.
This session presents new trends in the monitoring, aggregation and automation of service availability, service capacity and service level monitoring, aligned with ISO 20000 requirements and ITIL best practices.

In 45 minutes we’ll cover: 
- Service monitoring needs according to ITIL and ISO 20000
- ITSM vs BSM, aligning IT with the business
- Real-time, historical and predictive monitoring
- Different approaches to service monitoring
- New trends in service monitoring, dashboards and reports
- How to learn more
- Tips on how to get started

What’s the new digital business model used by leading organizations?

Leading organizations are tapping into a new IT model for extremely fast concept-to-cash or low time-to-market, andmuch lower operating and capital expenditures vs. being replaced by a startup or an App.

Imagine up to 200 times faster software deployment, 30 times increased deployment frequency, and 60 times higher change success rates. The data doesn’t lie.

Organizations such as Netflix, Spotify and Facebook are transforming IT by successfully implementing DevOps principles.

You don't have to be a hot internet company or a gigantic enterprise to be a DevOps leader.

Companies large and small, young and old, have magnificently made the transition and have the proof of success in their pockets.

This session is about how savvy IT managers are implementing a new digital business model to run IT like a business.

How does the role of the process owner evolve when using a lean approach to management?

What are the skills and experiences that a lean process owner should have?
How does the process owner role relate to other roles, such as IT management, process managers and process practitioners?
What are the pitfalls that you might experience in identifying and developing the process owner?

This session looks at the trials and tribulations of an IT organization as it attempts to find its way in making continual improvement part of its culture.

 In 45 minutes we’ll examine these questions, drawing on a case study: 

What are the patterns seen in the “traditional” approach to the process owner role?
How is a lean approach different?
What are the aspects of an organization’s culture that impact the success—or failure— of the role?
How can we motivate the process owner?
What are the measurements of success?

DevOps is the marriage between Agile, Lean and IT Service Management (ITSM). To begin your journey and be successful you need to adopt and adapt from all 3 movements.

DevOps is best defined as the capability to cooperate, collaborate, communicate and continuously improve how an organisation uses and benefits from technology to satisfy the goals of a customer or help them remove a problem.

In the webinar, we will discuss:
•What are these 3 movements?
•How are they different?
•How are they similar?
•How they get you to begin a DevOps journey?
•Tips on the journey of idea to realisation?

If you are thinking of how to benefit further from Agile, looking to remove the complexities of your ITSM processes or want to understand why lean is important to your success; listen to this interactive session.
