About the Presentation

For many years Opium was widely used to reduce pain. It worked and was seen to work, but didn't remove the true cause of the pain. Is ITIL often used in the same way, reducing the pains of IT without addressing the root cause? Research shows that few organisations go beyond implementing the service desk, perpetuating spend on this particular painkiller. When ROI is an absolute must, how can you justify developing ITSM beyond the basics? This presentation will highlight true costs of the "painkillers" in order to illustrate the value of implementing the pro-active aspects of the service lifecycle. It will help you to justify investment in ITIL V3 to your CEO, and create the most beneficial path to the future.
