ITSM is all about serving the people. And that counts for both sides of the equation. IT industry veteran James Gander walks us through the power of simulations in ITSM training and service desk environments. He highlights their ability to encourage communication and collaboration amongst teams, and real-life experiences over pure books and theory. He also shares some recent projects, such as The Project Phoenix and MarsLander, and examples of remote simulations. James Gander has over 30 years working in the IT industry. In 2010 he left full-time employment and started serving as Managing Director of Gander Service Management. He worked in the past in many IT roles at different companies like Xansa, Waikato District Health Board, Genesis Energy, the University of Auckland, Northpower, and Carter Holt Harvey. James is also a contributor to VeriSM and has made appearances on other IT media channels, like The ITSM Crowd, Karen Ferris's Conversations, and more.
David Barrow, an all-round passionate and expert on the matter, discusses with our host the guiding principles of ITIL 4, where understanding how to co-create value is central. We examine why it's time to enable IT teams to work with suppliers and customers to deliver value, and why value creation must be extensively integrated into organizations and their supply chain. Then we look into a few practical ways to start applying this in your organization. Finally, David gives us a small sneak peek into some concepts described in his new book. David Barrow is an IT professional, with 30 years of experience working with IT across multiple industries, and the recently published author of ‘Co-creating value in organizations with ITIL 4‘. He is an ITIL 4 Strategic Leader recognised by BCS, The Chartered Institute for Information Technology, as a Chartered IT Professional and Fellow.

It sounds nice to say, using Dostoevsky's words, that beauty will save the world. But is this claim true? If so, in what sense is it true? What even is beauty? And what would it mean for it to save the world? This week, we welcome Dr. Lionel Yaceczko back to HeightsCast to discuss beauty: what it is and what the Western tradition can tell us about it. Today's episode is rooted in a previous discussion we had with Dr. Yaceczko, in which he spoke with us about Western civilization. In that episode, we considered what Western civilization is and why it is still worth studying today. This week, we look at one reason why the study of the West is a fruitful endeavor: it can help us better appreciate beauty. As we hear from Dr. Yaceczko, beauty consists in the marriage of order and surprise. It is the fruit of keeping the commandments and breaking the conventions. As such, seeing part of a beautiful work of art first invites our prediction—there is order and we can discern it—and then astounds our expectation—but that order is not mere slavish repetition. Whenever we find beauty in this world, we glimpse eternity. Each glimpse spurs us on to find the fullness of that beauty, which is our perfection and which will surpass all predictions: eye has not seen, nor ear heard what has been prepared for those who truly love. And when, God-willing, we find that Beauty—or perhaps, better yet, when He finds us— we will finally be at home. And yet, if our intuition about beauty here is on track, then we will forever be astonished with Whom we find.

Giarte Podcast | De toekomst van ITIL | Marco Gianotten in gesprek met Mark Smalley Met thought leader Mark Smalley praat Marco Gianotten in de podcast van Giarte over de toekomst van ITIL. Het debat over de relevantie van ITIL is zo oud als de weg naar Rome. Feit is dat de 'IT Infrastructure Library' wereldwijd het meest gebruikte referentiekader is voor het beheer van complexe IT-omgevingen. Dat gooi je niet zomaar weg. Hoe ziet de verbinding tussen ITIL en agile eruit? Wie beter dan Mark Smalley, auteur van het boek annex de ITIL4 module; 'High Velocity IT', om de symbiose toe te lichten. Waarde en co-creatie zijn volgens Mark de verbindingsankers. Nu IT-organisaties de rol van 'digital services provider' krijgen, is dit het moment om na te denken wat 'the best of both worlds' is. Het mooie bij ITIL4 is dat de exclusieve focus op processen is losgelaten en de bredere dimensies van servicemanagement centraal staan. Naast processen (gericht op waardestroom) zijn er nog drie dimensies: partners en leveranciers; organisatie en mensen en informatie en technologie. - Mark Smalley - Speaker at Smalley.IT Mark Smalley schrijft, spreekt en bouwt bruggen vanuit zijn eenmanszaak Smalley.IT in Ouderkerk aan de Amstel. Zijn achtergrond is in managed application services en hij heeft een brede belangstelling voor alles rondom digitale dienstverlening. Mark heeft recentelijk bijgedragen aan de ontwikkeling van Giarte's XLA Academy. Hij heeft meegeschreven aan frameworks zoals ASL, BiSL, BRM, COBIT, DevOps, IT4IT, ITIL en VeriSM en heeft erover gesproken in meer dan dertig landen. Zijn laatste boek was ITIL 4 High-velocity IT, bedoeld voor organisaties die strategisch gebruik maken van digitale technologie. - Marco Gianotten - Oprichter van Giarte In de wereld van IT zou het moeten gaan om de impact van technologie op mensen en business. Aan 'helaas pindakaas' heb je niets. Giarte ontwerpt, meet, verbetert en verankert klantbeleving en waardesturing. We zijn grondlegger en aanjager van XLA als mindset, skillset en toolset.

Where did it come from? What do we mean when we say “ITSM”? Everything started with ITIL (and Prince), now it's more about lean IT. “Everything we wrap around tech to make it do what we want for the organisation” Problem: Thinking about people like software, “how do we upgrade our people” “This will shock no one in #ITSM but having attended a lot of virtual events, my conclusion is...it's not about the #technology, it's about the people. Organisation, communication, community are what really matter” https://twitter.com/ClaireAgutter/status/1333450454790000642 ITSM and DevOps How relevant is ITSM if everyone is off being agile? Tribalism, guardrails Scope of service management — applies more to supply chain than consumers ITSM in the cloud How does moving to the cloud affect ITSM? Does it increase or decrease the need for process? SIAM for integration and management of many suppliers Geo differences: big in EMEA, APJ, but nothing in US/CA IPaaS integration platform as next step in evolution from swivel-chair approaches, through RBA, to RPA and beyond Should startups implement ITSM? Should large established enterprises model startups’ agility? More from Claire 2020 has accelerated digital transformation beyond all expectations. As well as coping with a crisis, we need leaders and teams who can create the organisation of the future.

IT-Management Podcast | Für den Service-Management Nerd in Dir.
Um die Zauber der Weihnachtszeit noch etwas aufrecht zu erhalten, habe ich heute die ITSM-Weihnachtsgeschichte für Dich. Wenn ich daran denke, dass VeriSM im November gelauncht wurde und ITIL4 vor der Tür steht, wird es Dein Schaden nicht sein, wenn Du jetzt weiter hörst. Die Geschichte darf Dich und mich daran erinnern, wofür Werkzeuge da sind.
IT-Management Podcast | Für den Service-Management Nerd in Dir.
Ende letzten Jahres wurde mit viel Aufwand ein neues Framework für Service Management vorgestellt: VeriSM. Ich habe lange darüber nachgedacht, wie ich dazu stehen möchte.In dieser Folge gebe ich Dir einen Überblick zu VeriSM und erzähle Dir, was das Ergebnis meiner Gedanken ist.
