How to Establish an Accurate CMDB and Reimagine Service Ops

Business in 2024 demands a significant shift in the ITSM landscape, as Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a pivotal role in transforming workplaces. With the emergence of generative AI, enhancing employee experiences has become more critical than ever. As workforce boundaries are redrawn, business users are increasingly expecting chief information officers (CIOs) and their IT departments to demonstrate a clear return on investment (ROI). To meet these demands, IT leaders must select the right AI tools, ensuring that they avoid unnecessary technology expenditures while balancing organizational efficiency and productivity.

CIOs have the opportunity to position themselves as strategic forces within their organizations by improving IT service management (ITSM)—the processes, policies, and procedures that guide how IT resources and services are designed, managed, and delivered. However, a May 2024 survey by Harvard Business Review Analytic Services revealed a concerning trend: only 22% of respondents reported that their organizations provide ITSM in a very effective manner.

Join us for an in-depth discussion on the transformative promise of AI in ITSM.

Here’s what you can expect to learn:

● The power of AI in enhancing employee experiences
● Challenges in implementing generative AI 
● Best practices in implementing generative AI

Leveraging AI & ITSM for Strategic Advantage

As workforce dynamics shift, CIOs face growing pressure to deliver exceptional employee experiences while driving digital transformation and business success.  

However, there is a stark dichotomy. A 2024 global survey by Harvard Business Review Analytic Services reveals that while 80% of IT decision-makers believe improving ITSM would enhance employee satisfaction, only 22% believe their organizations provide ITSM in a very effective manner. 

The solution lies in going back to the basics - reducing complexities, dismantling silos, modernizing ITSM, and aligning it closely with business goals. 

Join this virtual session to explore how CIOs can elevate ITSM to drive innovation, featuring insights from the Harvard Business Review Analytic Services report. 

Hear from a CIO's perspective, gain actionable insights from global benchmarks, and discover how AI is shaping the future of service management.
