IT Identity Crisis..?
 What skills do we need to have? Now and in
future?
 Surely technical skills are the most important?
 Do we need to become …
Actually…
 You work for the company/organization that pays your
salary
 IT is another part of any organization – not something
separate and mysterious
 IT and other service functions are becoming more
integrated
 Outside IT / Shared Services/ Enterprise SM
And…
 IT is part of a supply chain…
 That delivers capability (through tech)…
 Which in turn provides your organisations’ services
 IT is now a retail function – get over it…

How can we
improve?
itSMF USA
Webinar
How can we improve?
• Take responsibility
• Develop open culture
• Build team
• Clarify direction
• Set clear goals
• Measure and improve
• Demonstrate success and value
Working together requires ‘leadership’ from
everyone…
Understanding Value
Outcomes
Customers
efficiency
ITSM Processes/Functions
ITIL/ITSM stuck with individual ‘silo’ processes
These don’t exist on their own in isolation
Need to think integrated functions, not just
processes
People, roles, ownership, accountability, function,
capability and outcomes…!

Its all about…
 ‘Like but not necessarily as’ a business
 Using some elements and key skills
 IT should be delivering value through technology
 Must be ready to embrace change – within core
principles
Run IT as a business..?

In summary…
We don't need to become retailers/accountants…
We do need to be able to work together to achieve
success – across and beyond IT
We need to be able and communicate with accountants -
and other business roles - in a language that they
understand and can act upon
So
Let’s Stick Together…!
One plan
One team
One set of objectives
One shared level of commitment
One set of success criteria
One positive outcome
