Change Management: Key to IT and Customer

ITSM is dependent on people in the organization to understand it and most people don’t get it. ITSM isn’t a choice it’s a requirement and businesses are losing sight of the core concept of what ITSM practices deliver.

Understanding Change, Release and Configuration is about providing clarity to help deepen one’s understanding of a major area in ITSM; Change, Release & Configuration Coordination. ITSM is a fundamental aspect in business and its requirements to develop a program that works, and it's sometimes it's more than the common ITSM frameworks can achieve.

ITSM isn’t a framework to implement, it’s a business function to effectively and efficiently deliver high-value service to customers. Technology is the vehicle to deliver this value, and people are the driving force to ensure the vehicle is controlled, managed, and maintained. Change, Release, and Configuration (CRC) are continuous tasks involved with service delivery.

In this webinar, Beverly talks about the effects of framework thinking and presents on the importance of understanding CRC in ITSM to produce a high performing service delivery organization.
