About this Event
--------------------------
ITIL is more than a simple set of best practices guidelines to optimise a few IT
service management processes. ITIL is a set of non-proprietary, comprehensive,
well-documented and fully integrated set of management procedures and best
practices that optimises IT service management and IT/business alignment. With
over 20,000
businesses, governments and non-profit organisations using it, ITIL is the most
widely accepted IT process management framework in the world.

But has it worked? Many IT organisations suffer from poor perceptions of value
and feel powerless to improve the situation. IT's top challenge right now is
to build and
demonstrate value to the rest of the organisation - be that commerce, government
or academia. How are CIO's and their IT Service Managers to leverage ITIL
and ITSM to
meet that challenge head on and win?   

Do not be content with prepared remarks alone. Go one-on-one with Gerard, asking
the tough questions, eliciting the most revealing replies. Trends are confirmed.
Illusions
shattered. News is broken. Live on the breakfast briefing stage.
