If IT is to be successful at running as a business and demonstrating value, IT must move from a functional view, or in the case of the enlightened, a process view, to a services view. This is a transformational journey for most organizations, one that requires leadership, sponsorship, structure and discipline to achieve. But it is a journey worth the effort and ultimately necessary for survival. This session shows how this journey is built on the concepts of the current and evolving ITIL framework. Examined will be why an ITIL and services approach has been undertaken by some but completed by few. This session introduces the central concepts involved
in managing IT as a services business, and explains the impact running IT as a business on both the service consumers and creators. You will explore the need to successfully build upon your understanding of ITIL and the evolving ITIL environment. Emphasized will be practical experiences and lessons learned from both external and internal IT service providers.
