Qualitative risk management in ITIL 4 change enablement

Many different models and frameworks are emerging to help increase speed, improve reliability, and reduce costs.

ITIL®, Agile, Lean and DevOps have all become essential tools to drive business value and high-quality customer service. However, the growing challenge for IT professionals is understanding how to integrate best practices from all models with a “fit for purpose” approach.

Join Pink Elephant's Kate Hamblin on 18th June for a view of how Integrated Service Management can increase service value and untangle the many layers of best practices and avoid ‘framework fatigue.'

A View of Integrated Service Management

The Service Desk is the window to IT services. When things go wrong on the Service Desk, the organisation’s perception of IT suffers. So it is crucial to make sure your IT Service is always improving.

Why assess your Service Desk when you know it needs to be improved? Well the first step to improving any service is to fully understand your current position. This is evident in many methodologies, such as the Deming Cycle “PDCA” (plan–do–check–adjust).

Join Pink Elephant’s Kate Hamblin for a session on the importance of assessing and understanding your Service Desk’s weaknesses and strengths along with advice on identifying areas of opportunities for further improvement.
