Top tips – before we start….
 1) Pick the areas that offer the biggest value first.
 2) Run it as a project NOT BAU!
 3) The ITSM toolset is the most visible part of ITSM but
don’t let the tail wag the dog
 4) The process design and tool configuration feed off of
each other
 5) Process design changes everything. Be ready
 6) Remember that people are not robots.
 7) The first thing that will happen is that things get
worse, or at perceived too. Be ready!
 8) Your changing your organisational culture. It’s the
hardest thing to do. Take it seriously
You MUST support business value….visibly!

A good vison acts as a guide
"Would you tell me, please,
which way I ought to go from
here?“
"That depends a good deal
on where you want to get to,"
said the Cat.
"I don’t much care where--"
said Alice.
"Then it doesn’t matter which
way you go," said the Cat.

Role Of IT/IS In The Organization
InfluenceOnTheBusiness
IT is perceived as an internal
business partner
IT customers are the customer of
the organization
IT has a single strategy and is focused on the
customer, but is perceived as an external
supplier
IT is focused on the integration and delivery of end-
to-end IT services (business solutions)
IT is focused on technology, infrastructure and applications are
treated as separate and largely unrelated domains

Processes

Process Design Made Simple
 Step 1: Agree a Goal
 Step 2: Agree a scope
 Step 3: Agree Policies to support the goal within the scope
 Step 4: Agree a high level way of working to make sure that
the goal is met, while following the policies
 Step 5: Agree the detailed steps to follow to ensure the high
level way of working is understandable
 Step 6: Agree measurements that drive the right behaviour
to be sure you can measure if the new way of working is
delivering what you wanted against the goal
 Step 7: Implement the process with emphasis on people
first then supporting toolsets

Setting Some Expectations
• Myth 1: A service management tool will solve all of our process
problems and give us best practices!
• Myth 2: A properly configured service management tool will mean
less work for all
• Myth 3: Systems Management tool integration will highly reduce
or even eliminate the need for human intervention and data entry
A tool simply allows you to communicate to a broader audience,
faster and easier. If you don’t all speak the same language you
simply confuse each other faster!
Warning: There is no such thing as ‘Out of the Box!’
It just does not exist!

ITSM Tool Market Overview
 ITSM tool market is large. Growing from approx $5b in
2002 to over $18.6b in 2011.
 There are over 300 different ITSM toolsets available to
select from.
 There are 3 major sources to turn to for help to narrow
this down
Macro level:- Gartner – ITSSM Magic Quadrant (Founded 2012)

Change Project Failure Rates
1995 Kotter published research showing that only 30% of change
programs were successful
1998 Turner & Crawford published a study showing only 33% of
change programs achieved partial or complete success
2005 Prosci published of study of 10,000 projects and found 29%
were successful
24
2008 McKinsey report indicates
that success rate for change
projects is still just 30%
2011 Standish Group report that
the success rate still just is 34%

So why do change projects fail?
 “60% of change projects stumble on precisely the
things they are trying to transform; employee attitudes
and management behaviour”
 Source: Geoff Wade “Cracking the Change Code”
 Kotter: 1995
 Mckinsey :2005 & 2008
 Prosci: 2005 & 2009
Other studies show that positive attitudes to change are
vital to succeeding in cultural change programs
 Kotter: 1995
 Martin: 1998
 Gilmore & Barnett: 1992
 Adams, Russell Gaby: 2000

‘Resistance’ – The Top Ten
Saying ‘Yes’; meaning ‘No’
No management commitment
ITIL is the objective not what it should achieve
Never mind about following procedures just do
what we normally do
ITIL Never work here
Throwing (ITIL) Solutions over the wall and
HOPING people will follow them
IT thinks it doesn’t need to understand the
Business to make a Business case
Unable to specify VALUE for the business
No understanding of Business impact & priority
Plan, Do, Stop…No real CSI

Managing Organisational & Stakeholder Change
Do
 Establish a baseline and vision
 Develop a communication strategy and check that
communications are understood
 Identify impact on other services, processes, systems
and people not involved in Service Transition
 Identify impact on customers/users and other
stakeholders
 Be able to articulate and communicate why are we
making this change
 Identify new skills/knowledge required

Do
 Consider development requirements including training,
coaching, mentoring
 Promote the right culture
 Promote organisational discipline
 Integrate HR support
 Put the right people in the right role/job
 Help people to manage stress
 Encourage people to think that the situation can be
improved – it generally can be
 Provide easy access to information about the change
 Ensure new or changed documentation/instructions are
concise and understandable for the target audience

Don’t
 Try to micro-manage everything
 Put minor changes through bureaucratic processes
 Forget the agreed degree of exposure to risk
 Focus solely on the IT
 Forget the people
 Over-complicate things
 Ignore the after effects of failed changes on people
 Neglect the costs of transition
 Succumb to inertia
 Pretend that there will be no losers
