Information Technology Service Management (ITSM) Implementation Methodology B...Waqas Tariq
This paper is intended to cover the concept of IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) v3 and how to implement it in order to increase the efficiency of any Egyptian IT corporate and to help the corporate employees to do their work easily and its clients to feel the quality of services provided to them. ITIL is considered now as the de facto standard for IT Service Management (ITSM) in organizations which operate their business based on IT infrastructure and services. ITIL v3 was implemented in western organizations but still it is a new framework for the Egyptian and Arabian environment. The best proof of the lack of ITSM in the Arab region and not Egypt alone is that the percentage of the companies which have ISO/IEC 20000 are less than 2% of the total certified companies in the whole world and in Egypt no company has it until now as stated on APMG ISO/IEC 20000 website[1]. Accordingly this paper investigates an implementation methodology of ITIL in an Egyptian organization taking into consideration the cultural factors and how it will affect the success of this implementation. We have already implemented this methodology in three Egyptian companies and it succeeded to increase the level of process maturity from level one to level four according the PMF

How to implement measurements to drive valueOMNINET USA
Slides belonging to a BrighTalk presentation given by David Smith, president of Micromation.
How to Implement Measurements to drive value
Improve the "Business of IT" by using a measurement framework and metrics that matter most.
Metrics are important to management. What's not measured cannot be managed. But what should be measured, why and how?
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, then this session is for you:
• not sure what to measure
• not sure how to measure
• IT metrics don't seem to support business goals
• too busy fighting fires to become more proactive
• measure too many things already
• business/IT goals not measured
• priorities focus on noise vs. what's important
• customer complaints drive improvements
• efficiency, effectiveness, quality not well understood
• reduced visibility resulting in loss of control
• not sure who needs what level of detail
Learning Objectives:
Metrics validate your IT strategy and vision; provide direction with targets and metrics; justify changes with a means to gauge value-realized; signal when to intervene with corrective actions.
Hear case studies and examples that help you improve alignment, meet compliance and drive service excellence.
Learn the secrets of how measurement frameworks works and take away a roadmap with actionable steps. Let's get IT started.
Customers often tell us they are unhappy with their current ITSM tool solution. Some go so far as to say “we really didn’t like the previous tool either, but it is much better than the one we just implemented”. The root cause of this dissatisfaction is (usually) not the functionality of the tool itself, but in how the tool was rolled out and how expectations were communicated. Join us, as we will share insight on considerations and attributes associated with successes and failures of ITSM tool implementations….going from Strategy to Execution.

Is this the End of ITIL? NO, it is the end-to-end of ITIL!
As we celebrate the first year anniversary of ITIL 4, enterprises are working their way to understand and clarify the full impact and value of the update. Do these questions sound familiar to you (or have you asked them yourself?):
"ITIL 4 is theoretical, how do we translate theory into practice?"
"How do you demonstrate the relevance of ITIL 4?"
"How do we get buy-in from the other stakeholders in the value chain?"
"How do we get the business to buy-in to apply effective IT governance to prioritize scarce resources against exploding demands?"
"Do we need to shift from SLAs to XLAs?"
In this session we will explore how the MarsLander Experiential Learning Workshop has been effectively used to address these challenges and show concrete, pragmatic takeaways.
And yes, Paul will be talking about their simulation, but will also unveil lots of pragmatic advice you can use to better understand the value proposition of ITIL 4.

This webinar will introduce and discuss “The V*A*L*U*E Formula” and model.
Topics and Key Takeaways:
It comes down to VALUE
Crafting a compelling Value Vision
Aspects of Alignment
Facets of Leverage and Uniqueness
Unleashing value through effective Execution
Alan Nance, FISM, Managing Partner CitrusCollab LLLP ... thought leader, innovator, creative disruptor
Service Management exists to guarantee a valuable experience to customers and colleagues. Despite years of implementing best practices, the reputation of most technology departments is below par in the eyes of business leaders.
90% of CEOs feel they aren’t meeting their customer needs.
85% of CEOs don’t think technology is performing critical functions.
One of the core reasons is that technology teams are often trapped into measuring output rather than outcome, and KPIs on activities rather than XPIs that guarantee experience.
Luckily, ITIL 4 now connects to the world of design thinking and experience management with its focus on co-creation and outcomes. But how can we include eXperience Level Agreements (XLA) effectively and quickly?
In this presentation Alan will explain all-things XLA.

It’s been said that where there is demand there is a value stream. It seems you can’t visit an IT website these days without reading about the importance of value stream management.

Mike and Donna will set the stage and then ‘open up the mics’ for your questions about anything related to value streams and value stream mapping.
Sean Mack, CEO, xOps
There is a prevalent myth that DevOps and IT Service Management (ITSM) and the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) are incompatible. However this supposition has very little basis. ITIL is a framework from which you can take or leave portions you like and, in fact, this framework provides many useful paradigms for DevOps help implementations.
There’s actually wide synergy between ITIL and DevOps. If we understand ITIL as a process framework and see DevOps as, primarily, a culture of collaboration, there is no reason we cannot have a process framework integrate very well with a culture of collaboration.
This talk looks at the overlap of ITIL and DevOps and outlines some practical ways in which the DevOps philosophy can be applied to ITIL and operations process management.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
