Adopt Adapt and Apply IT Best Practices - David RatcliffePink Elephant
Adopt. Adapt. Apply!
No, this is not just a cute play on words. These particular three words strung together help to convey the notion that successful business results happens when there has been a “fit for purpose” approach applied to Continual Service Improvement (CSI).
The magic of successful execution of any business framework or model happens when organisations become experts at “adopting” and “adapting” best practices to solve their organisation’s challenges. Whether it’s ITIL®, COBIT®, or whatever, this means that to be a highly effective IT manager you need to understand the needs of your business first, and then what processes and guidance would be most valuable to help address those needs. When you boil it down, the challenge to IT organisations is to know the value of a particular framework, and how it can – and more importantly should – be adapted and applied to your environment. That’s when the magic happens!
David is on hand to take you through very important considerations for dealing with the realities of leveraging best practices and delivering business value. He’ll discuss the dangers of “implementing by the book”, and also highlight several important factors to consider for adopting, adapting and applying the guidance to deliver the desired business value.

How Public Private Partnerships Change The World - Nick HoultonPink Elephant
How Public Private Partnerships Change The World
Nick Houlton, COO, APMG-International
Growing populations and aging infrastructures are inhibiting the ability of many nations to provide essential public services needed to develop their economies – tackling this infrastructure deficit will require the public and private sectors to work together. Sound structured public private partnerships (PPP) provide an effective solution to this issue – helping governments raise the funds necessary to meet infrastructure demands and stimulate economic development.
Both public and private sectors in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs) often lack the ability to formulate, implement and maintain PPPs – causing many projects to fail. Join Nick Houlton as he explains the new PPP certification programme and its supporting guide and how the new qualification helps make the role of PPPs more prominent in enabling delivery of essential services that are key to the UN’s vision of ending extreme poverty.
The APMG PPP Certification Programme is an innovation of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the Inter-American Development Bank through its Multilateral Investment Fund (IADB through its MIF), the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), the World Bank Group (WBG) and part funded by the Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF) with a shared vision of enhancing PPP performance globally.
Top 5 Myths Of DevOps
Although a fairly new label and not officially coined until a few years ago, the ideals of “DevOps” have been discussed for nearly a decade. Recently, the term DevOps has gained increased popularity, but what does this buzzword really mean? Karen will highlight that DevOps is not a development methodology or technology, rather an ideology; a way to facilitate organisational prosperity and growth while increasing each individual employee's engagement. Some believe that as DevOps has gained prominence, a gap has been created between the original definition of DevOps and this new "enterprise-ready" buzzword.
Continual Service Improvement: A Journey To Service Excellence - David WrightPink Elephant
Continual Service Improvement – A Journey To Service Excellence

Service Automation: Enabling The Self Service Generation - Jan-Willem MiddleburgPink Elephant
Service Automation: Enabling The Self Service Generation
In today’s built-on-the-web economy, cloud computing, mobile technologies and the on-demand culture have generated and empowered a whole new generation of IT users who are accustomed to arranging their lives online – The Self Service Generation. IT delivery and support organisations are dealing with an ever more demanding IT user community and ever more demanding Service Level Agreements. In this new online and connected world everything has to happen now! During the last decade, virtually every service provider has made the shift to (partially) online service delivery, yet most organisations have yet to change their support models and do not have adequate answers and time sensitive response tools that can evolve with the changing business demand. The Service Automation Framework provides valuable answers to these questions.
In this session Jan-Willem will explore how your organisation can use the Service Automation Framework and self-service concepts to service the IT user of today and the future. Get ready to dive into the next generation of ITSM and explore the way your organisation can benefit through preparations and adopting these new technologies. Are you ready?
The Future Is Not What It Used To Be - Jan-Willem MiddelburgPink Elephant
The Future Is Not What It Used To Be
Is it possible that the technology we cannot live without every single day had its beginnings one hundred or even several hundreds of years ago? Yep. Crazy as it sounds there would be no fibre optic cable today without the Gutenberg Bible, no project management without a 17th century Swedish warship, no iPhone or Mac without the office copier, no Internet without a Brooklyn-born pig farmer, and no Wi-Fi without a movie star touted as the “most beautiful woman in the world”.
What do all these connections mean for us today? What knowledge have we gained? What insights have we learned?
Most importantly, what about tomorrow? It is often said that, “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” Will the next decade simply happen to us? Or can those of us in IT use our understanding of the connections with the past to influence, predict and effectively change our future? Can the history of innovation predict the future of innovation?
The Phoenix Project DevOps Simulation - Paul WilkinsonPink Elephant
ncorporating DevOps – The Phoenix Project Simulation
Businesses are demanding ever shorter release cycles for new applications. Traditionally ‘Operations’ is seen as a barrier with lengthy bureaucratic controls and delays in provisioning production systems. DevOps is a growing movement for shortening development and deployment and integrating Development and Operations. However, this requires a mind-set shift, new behaviours and a cultural shift in both Development and Operations. Traditionally suspicious of each other, they must now work closely together. Yet many companies are struggling to adopt and deploy DevOps and how to change the culture.
The “Phoenix Project” Simulation game is based upon The Phoenix Project. Parts Unlimited is in trouble. Newspaper reports reveal the poor financial performance of the organisation. The only way forward to not only save the company but to make it competitive and profitable is “The Phoenix Project” which represents an IT enabled business transformation, with Retail Operations as the business owner of this project. The VP of IT Operations is asked to take the lead of the IT department and ensure that “The Phoenix Project” will be a success. But the VP of IT Operations is facing a tremendous amount of work. A huge backlog of issues, features and projects. Are you up for the challenge…?

What The CEO Wants You To Know - David RatcliffePink Elephant
What The CEO Wants You To Know
The highly respected author Ram Charan has taught business at Harvard and Northwestern universities. In his best-selling book, he describes universal business principles that help all companies make money. What your CEO wants everyone in his or her organisation to know is how these fundamentals of business work. In this revealing session, David will explain why every senior IT manager needs to understand the key business concepts in Charan’s book, and he’ll also challenge you to think about your IT business planning process to assess whether it is strongly aligned with corporate goals and priorities.
What Is IT4IT? – An Introduction To A New Standard
The IT industry has long lacked a complete end-to-end management standard, one that includes architecture, project, portfolio, service, and operations management. It’s a challenge, one that the IT4IT standard has been designed to address. IT4IT is the first end-to-end, vendor-neutral reference model for IT management and its systems. This session will give you a comprehensive overview on the history, positioning, and content of IT4IT and show you how to make it a reality for your organisation.
Advanced traditional IT departments, with silos organised around deep disciplines, policies, and processes, won’t work for tomorrow’s world. Most IT departments with specialist groups that speak their own dialect, struggle to agree on shared goals and values. Because of this, it’s hard to deliver optimal business outcomes. This session will help you break down the barriers and harness the power of IT4IT, a high-level standard for managing the whole of IT with an enterprise service-centric architecture.
Achieving Business IT Alignment with IT Best PracticesPink Elephant
Achieving Business IT Alignment With IT Best Practices
Experts are now talking about Business and IT Integration or Fusion. Experts are always coming up with trendy new buzzwords and models. It is as if by giving it a new name we can sweep the old one under the carpet and blame our lack of alignment on the old outdated terminology…or framework. Whatever you want to call it, with the increasing demand for IT and the increasing impact and importance of IT for organisations we must bring alignment to a more mature level. Writing this is like living the film "Groundhog Day". Every day you wake up and face the same situation again and again…only with business and IT alignment it seems to be a perennial experience.
The fact that business and IT alignment is STILL an issue implies that existing IT Best Practice frameworks, training and consulting approaches must contribute to achieve the hoped for results… namely alignment. Is it simply an impossible goal? Join Paul Wilkinson in this session as he explains how ITIL, COBIT® and BRM contribute to one common goal: achieving alignment between the world of Business and IT.
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.
As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.
