Marketing Internal Change
Social marketing (the marketing of social change) has four decades of experience in bringing about systematic and systemic change in the broader society. Marketing’s role as a means for understanding the individual, their needs, world views and barriers to change can be used equally effectively within the organisation (as well as without an organisation). This paper overviews a set of the key models for managing the social change process from the macro-level through to understanding and addressing the individual’s needs for during periods of change.

itSMF Australia 2009 Conference: Summary Report of ITSM Standards and Frameworks Survey
This report provides a summary of responses from surveys related to adoption of Information Technology Service Management (ITSM) frameworks. The surveys were conducted at the itSMF National Conference in Sydney in 2009. Two surveys were conducted: the Corporate survey for organisations and the other for Consultants and Trainers. For the Corporate survey 65 responses were received but only eight for the Consultant and Trainers survey.
The responses for the Corporate survey came mainly from large organisations representing both the public and private sectors. The vast majority of organisations whose staff responded to the survey have adopted the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) and are making substantial progress in implementing this framework. Priority has been given to implementing the service desk function, change management and incident management processes. Some of the processes in v3 which were not in v2 show low levels of awareness and adoption. Many organisations are also advanced in their implementation of Prince 2, Balanced Scorecard, ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security), Government standards and the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). The strongest motivating factor to implement IT Service Management is to improve the focus on IT service. The maturity level of ITSM processes is generally rated higher than in previous years with many reporting as repeatable (level 2) and defined (level 3). Most of the respondents have completed ITIL foundation training and many have also achieved intermediate and advanced qualifications. Commitment from senior management is identified as the most critical factor for successful ITSM implementation. Almost one half believe ITSM has met or exceeded their expectations although many stated it is too early to tell if ITSM has delivered benefits. There is strong consensus that the major benefit of ITSM is improved customer satisfaction. Many further benefits have been realised including improved response and resolution, clarification of roles and responsibilities, and improved IT service continuity.
Unfortunately, most of the consultants and trainers who attended the conference as delegates or exhibitors did not complete the questionnaire, therefore the analysis of the eight responses may not be representative and care should be exercised in interpreting the results. Generally, the views expressed by the Consultants echoed those of the Corporate respondents and confirmed the strong move towards ITIL V3, as well as growing interest in ISO/IEC 20000 certification. The success factors favoured by the Consultants varied compared to those of the Corporate respondents. Compared to the responses to the Corporate survey, the Consultants and Trainers gave a higher ranking to the importance of sufficient funding for ITSM initiatives and documentation and integration of processes. Another difference was in the Consultants’ perceptions of the effectiveness of ITSM wherein the Corporate respondents gave a more positive view that ITSM met or exceeded expectations. As for the benefits from ITSM, only two of the top benefits reported by the Consultants were in the top five in the Corporate survey.

How Green is your ITIL
There is a vast amount of information available on “Green IT”, sustainability, climate change and so on available from numerous sources. There is little information for today’s IT Managers on how IT Service Management and ITIL can help address the environmental challenges facing their organisations.
The Information Technology industry now accounts for 2% of global CO2 emissions. “Green IT” is one of the 10 most important topics concerning CIOs in 2008.
This presentation explores how IT Service Management and the best practice guidance in ITIL Version 3 can be utilised to bring “Green IT” to new and existing services throughout the service lifecycle from Service Strategy to Continual Service Improvement. Supporting rapid business growth is an on-going challenge for IT. Add to that the increasing cost of energy, the constant need to refresh the infrastructure - and then the question is how we reduce energy consumption and waste whilst still maintaining the ability to respond to business demands as well as being responsible corporate citizens. Although not immediately obvious - and some industry experts have stated that ITIL Version 3 failed to address the impact on the environment of delivering IT Services - this presentation will demonstrate that IT Service Management and ITIL does in fact have a major part to play in reducing our carbon footprint.

People & Change - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Organisational Change is an interesting topic, We have seen in the past that initiatives related to transformation (be it ITIL, Service Management or something else) fail, or not fully achieve their objectives because of a lack of adoption of the initiatives and/or internalisation of practices, processes, roles and responsibilities. Everyone should be interested in the “People” part because it must be managed to be successful. People respond & react in many different ways. Joshua will challenge us by looking at how we can respond to their response, ask what if we can influence their responses and what to do (or not do) if they respond in a way that jeopardises the outcomes of the transformation. Joshua will speak from his vast experience and what he has seen - the good, the bad and the ugly !

Is Service Portfolio Management (SPM) the next evolution for ITIL
ITIL V3 takes a strategic perspective of Service Management by introducing the Service Lifecycle. And nowhere is this more obvious than in the Service Strategy book. If we want to be seen as an integral part of the business we must understand the ‘business value’ of the Services we provide.
Two great killers of IT departments are ungated demand to deliver new Services and when to retire Services. These decisions should be made on the value to the business of the Service.
Sadly, IT is not good at understanding ‘business value’. This is where Service Portfolio Management (SPM) helps as its objective is to analyse and optimise the Services we provide from the perspective of ‘value to the business’!
This session will be highly interactive to help you discover what ‘value to the business’ means, how you measure it and how you then use it to make investment decisions across the lifecycle of Services. In our current economic climate we are being asked to make cuts, the successful organisation will be the one that can make the correct surgical decisions and SPM will assist you in doing so.
Often when people look at SPM it appears overwhelming but it does not have to be and this session will help you get started. And even if you don’t go down the full SPM path this session will get you thinking about your Services and without having a Service Centric approach you will always be a cost centre!

Service Improvement using ISO/IEC 15504
Process capability assessments are an effective method of answering the question ‘Where are we now?’ They provide a measured understanding of how an existing service is performing, and how effective and efficient the supporting IT Service Management processes are.
This is important for identifying the gap between where we are and where we want to be.
The use of quantitative measures will ensure that an organisation is able to effectively compare the results of the initial baseline assessment with the results of future assessments.
The ISO/IEC 15504, an international standard for measuring process capability maturity provides this assurance of repeatability and consistency of process capability measurement.
It should be noted however, that Organisational Maturity is based on the capability levels of several related processes.
In developing an effective roadmap for service improvement, consideration must also be given to the relationships and interdependencies between IT service management processes.
The purpose of this presentation is to inform the audience about the structure of ISO/IEC 15504 and how it may be employed tosupport process based Service Improvement initiatives.

Driving IT Transformation - A Case Study
The introduction of ITIL V3 has re-created the focus of ITSM on the customer and service after a few years of an unhealthy preoccupation with the CMDB as the heart of ITIL. The central element that is behind this re-focus is the service catalogue. Dowling are seeing a huge focus from the market in developing Service Catalogues that are then used as the catalyst to transform the behaviour and the performance of IT. This real case study walks through an organisations transformation towards transformation, how ITIL V3 was used as the central theme and how the organisation learned from and leveraged Dowlings’ ITSM experience.

One Small Step...
UTAS is committed to seeking continuous improvement across all sectors of its central IT operation. To that extent IT Resources has embarked on a self improvement strategy underpinned by the ITIL framework to improve its service delivery to the business.
Incident Management is the “one small step” that most organisations use to begin their service improvement journey. How do we start that step, how big a step can we take and how big should we take, when have we gone far enough? What do we need to take with us when we start the journey and what should we just leave behind?
Remember, beware the tripping hazards on the road. What have we learned and how are the lessons we learn today going to help us moving into the future. A journey no matter how long always starts with the first step.

So you've 'Implemented ITIL': What Next? Extracting Value from your ITSM Capability & Building More
Many industry pundits and sceptics suggested that ITIL was a fad, another “TQM” or “ISO 9000” that would run its race to be replaced by something hipper after the lip gloss wore off. However with the ITIL implementation and training numbers continuing to grow and ITSMF chapters becoming ubiquitous across the IT landscape, it is clear that ITIL is here to stay.
What is giving ITIL its “legs” and how can IT organisations continue to extract and build value from the ITSM capability? In this presentation David Favelle will present strategies for demonstrating ITSM value, revitalising and re-aligning your ITSM capability with business goals. He will cover implications of emerging trends such as Cloud computing and virtualisation and how these relate to the ITSM capability. He will also give insights into possible next steps on your ITSM and IT governance maturity path.

Information Security as an extension of Corporate Risk
Risk management has largely been accepted by CxOs as an integral component of successful business management, whereas information security is often seen as a separate process left to IT professionals. This presentation provides an overview of how security practices, based on the ISO27001 series, can align with a mature enterprise risk management approach to allow information security risk to be captured within the corporate risk framework. The presentation will also consider security issues in light of the economic climate and provide some recent security failures.

itSMF Australia 2005 Conference: Summary of ITIL Adoption Survey Responses
This report provides a summary of responses from a survey of ITIL adoption and benefits conducted at the itSMF National Conference in Brisbane. Many public sector organisations and private sector firms have adopted ITIL and are making substantial progress in implementing the framework. Although all the ITIL core functions and processes are being implemented by most of the respondents, priority has been given to implementing the service desk function and incident management process. Factors identified as most critical to successful ITIL implementation are senior management commitment and an effective ITIL champion. Important issues relate to the ability of IT staff to adapt to change, the quality of IT staff, and training for IT staff.

This report provides a summary of responses from a survey of ITIL adoption and benefits conducted at the itSMF National Conference in Sydney in 2006. Many public sector organisations and private sector firms have adopted ITIL and are making substantial progress in implementing the framework. Although all the ITIL core functions and processes are being implemented by most of the respondents, priority has been given to implementing the service desk function, incident management and change management process. Factors identified as most critical to successful ITIL implementation are senior management commitment and an effective ITIL champion. Important issues relate to funding, involvement of business, change management and issues related to IT staff adaptability and training. Although half of respondents believed it is too early in their implementation to know if ITIL has met their expectations, various benefits have been realised including clarification of roles and responsibilities, improved response and resolution, improved customer satisfaction, and availability of systems and applications.

itSMF Australia 2007 Conference: Summary of ITSM Standards and Frameworks Survey Responses
This report provides a summary of responses from a survey related to adoption of Information Technology Service Management (ITSM) framework. The survey was conducted at the itSMF National Conference in Melbourne in 2007. In total, 100 responses were received. The responses came from mainly large organisations representing both the public and private sectors. All the organisations who responded to the survey have adopted the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) and are making substantial progress in implementing this framework. Priority has been given to implementing the service desk function, incident management and change management processes. Many organisations are also implementing Prince 2, government standards and ISO9000. The strongest motivating factor to implement IT Service Management is to improve the focus on IT service. The maturity level of ITSM processes was generally rated as initial (level 1) or repeatable (level 2). Most of the respondents had completed ITIL foundation training. Many organisations intend to upgrade their ITIL version from two to three. Commitment from senior management is identified as the most critical factor for successful ITSM implementation. Although many stated it is too early to tell if ITSM has delivered benefits, one third believes ITIL has met or exceeded their expectations. There was strong consensus that the major benefit of ITSM is improved customer satisfaction. Many further benefits have been realised including improved response and resolution, clarification of roles and responsibilities, and coordinated IT service.

Organisation Change - Don't forget abouth the People
Organisations undertake various projects and implement changes with mixed results once their business cases are approved. Whilst some projects succeed, others experience initial success, some fade away and some fail outright. Whilst there are many reasons for failure; one of the other key reasons that attribute to project failure is the lack of Organisational Change and Strategy.
Organisational Change can be either a relatively simple or a complex process to initiate and complete. It really depends on the size of the organisation, project complexity and the impact to the organisation. This presentation will help you outline what level of Organisational Change will need to be considered and will
address the Question “What is Organisational Change and why do we need it?" plus how to address and plan for change, and the basic principles and techniques on how to deal with the upcoming change, as change is inevitable.

Strategy Management: The 'brain' of your IT Organisation
Strategy Management acts like a brain for the IT Organisation. It is where all influences, principles, requirements, historical data, ideas, possibilities and constrains are integrated in a direction and where execution is ultimately managed and controlled. Without that brain the IT organisation is useless as it
consumes valuable resources without providing value. Joshua and Justin talk from experience on how a well functioned strategy management will add value and how a non-functioned strategy management doesn’t.

Reporting - The best way to defend your Strategy
When organisations focus on a new strategy, evidence is often sought only to support the new direction. Often new strategies fail to realise all the benefits in particular organisations because they do not fully allow for industry specific complexities. A more comprehensive approach to ensuring success, and supporting the new Service Management strategy, would be to formulate a review of the strategy in the organisations own environment, utilising information the organisation already has.
This is a practical exercise in looking at what information an organisation has at its disposal to review and measure up against the key deliverables outlined in a Service Management strategy. We'll show you some simple methods on how to get key information from your current ITSM data pool or ITSM tool. We'll also present practical examples of how you can use live analytics and reporting to support value from your IT Service Management Strategy current or future.

Integrated IT Governance & Management
We are being overwhelmed with “new” best practices. How can we pick our way through all this and ensure that we deliver value? The trick is to recognise the value and intent of each framework and to recognise that most are complementary and almost all are more comprehensive than we need. As with many things, we need to spend some time crafting the architecture of our IT Governance and Management approach and applying the best aspects and principles of the various frameworks.
This presentation will cover how to architect the “to be” state for your IT Governance and Management capabilities in terms of org structure, people capabilities, processes, tools and measurement. I will then talk about the roadmap to implementing effective goldilocks governance and management (not too strict, not too loose, but just right!) alongside the day to day tumult of IT projects and operations.

Methods That Matter - The Customers' View
Passionate about your favourite Framework/Methodology (Quality, Risk, ITIL, PRINCE2, COBIT)? So what does your customer think about it?
Do we proudly defend and justify our framework investments, or do we quietly get on with customer service delivery?
During this interactive discussion we will explore:
- Some underlying principles across the entire Services Sector.
- The intent of each process; do we share the vision of the framework’s Architect?
- What metrics align with the intent of the process?
- Expectations from everyone in the service delivery channel.
- The opinions/observations/perceptions of the end customer.
This session is intended to challenge our thinking on the value and benefit to the end customer. We can’t do it all, so let’s set priorities on the things that matter.

“You cannot manage what you cannot measure” and “What you measure becomes important”. Most people have heard both of these maxims over the years, and there is an element of truth in both of them.
This presentation explores the outcomes, both good and not so good, that can result from your approach and application of some classic ITSM process metrics. Peter will share the actual questions and approach used for customer satisfaction surveys, and discuss reports and learning in the area of Incident, Problem and Change Management metrics.

Managing demand across the enterprise with Service Portfolio Management and Service Catalog
Most organisations are struggling with undated demand to deliver services and have trouble understanding which Services should be delivered and when Services should be retired. ITIL V3 helps us address this at the strategic level through Service Portfolio Management (SPM) and at the tactical level through
Service Catalog.
That being said these are new processes and not many people are actually doing them. In this session Peter will discuss some of the thought leadership he has been providing to organisations on how to get started.
The session will look at using SPM to manage the Service across its entire lifecycle and how you actually define the value to the business, which of course changes across the lifecycle.
From a tactical perspective Peter will use a case study to demonstrate some incredible savings that can be made by managing tactical demand through Service Catalog and Service request fulfilment.

The Customer Technology Index - An overarching service level
This presentation describes a case study where a Customer Technology Index was implemented in a Financial Services Organisation, which resulted in over 90% of application downtime being removed and a fundamental cultural change toward a customer obsessed, partnering, collaborative environment, that has been sustained and improved.
It then proposes a more general Customer Technology Index, across an organisation, providing a single number representing the outcomes across all services the Customer utilizes, comprised of a number of different components representing the Customer Experience.
Key factors in defining, designing, transitioning, operating and improving the experience are also discussed.

Enabling the Business to Deliver: How IT can prioritise scarce resources to deliver business focused service levels
Today in order for a company to be successful, IT services must be robust, scalable and tied to the company’s business objectives.
Any degradation in the quality of these IT services can cause serious damage to the business. This means IT is under considerable pressure to maximise service levels, with ever dwindling budgets, whilst supporting an increasingly complex and dynamic IT infrastructure.
Effective Service Level Management enables IT to not only reduce business risk by highlighting areas of weakness in IT service delivery, but also by effectively targeting scarce IT resources where they are most needed.
Implementing effective SLM can appear to be a daunting task. However, the rewards are great in terms of cost efficiencies, end user satisfaction and maximising ability of the business to deliver. In this session, we will explore the practical steps you can take to increase the perceived value of IT to the business through development of an automated, fully integrated SLM solution.

Aligning IT with Business
Organisations have goals that they strive to achieve, private enterprise has “increasing profit”, the government sector has “delivering government policy”, and not-for-profit organisations have the “delivery of a service”. The people within an organisation are typically structured into teams who’s responsibility it is to provide a small cog in the organisational machinery. It is the responsibility of the management team to ensure the cogs are functioning effectively; are meshed correctly with their adjacent cogs; that all functions in the organisation are in sync. Management can do this only if there is suitable information provided by all cogs in the machinery. It is not sufficient to monitor and report the cogs in isolation; not until the relationships between the cogs are understood can the machinery be truly understood and effectively managed. One significant set of cogs to be managed are those between IT and the business programs that IT supports. Traditionally the purpose of IT is to support the business; more and more though IT is becoming a business enabler, even a business driver. Therefore; a close alignment between business and IT is mandatory for continued organisational development and growth. How we manage that alignment increasingly determines the success of the enterprise.

Building a Financial Business Case for IT Service Management
In todays climate, justifying the investment in Service Management has never been so important. Many organisations will ‘hold off’ on ITIL training and process improvement citing lack of financial support and ‘the current climate’ as rationale. This presentation will discuss ways to justify the investment in service management in real financial terms. We will discuss real life business cases used to underpin major Service Management implementations and tips and techniques used to sell them to the business. During the session, Simon will cover topics such as:
- Benefits realisation and quick wins
- Financial payback for best practice
- Stakeholder support within the business
- Tangible and Intangible benefits

Six Sigma as the Process Improvement Methodology to complement Service Management
At CSC we use Lean Six Sigma as the Process Improvement Methodology to complement our ITIL based processes in our pursuit of these processes being in good operational order. ITIL requires that improvements be performed on all processes, and Lean Six Sigma provides a structured methodology for the assessment and changes required to the processes.
Downstream from this work are the additional business benefits that are delivered, as Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ) is driven from the process, and the culture of the business is mutated through empowering staff with the opportunity to take control of their own work practices by being able to quantify problems and request change to improve their own workplace.
Nirvana will happen when a critical mass of the business are empowered with the tools to make this happen, and use them either as part of the L6S methodology, or casually to improve the way that processes are reviewed and reported.

Organisational Change is in fact a competency change. After all we’re asking individuals and workforces to do different things after the change we have in mind, isn’t it? To achieve that, changing skills and culture isn’t enough, adding new knowledge either. Joshua talks about the complexity of competency change within three integrated levels: organisations, teams and individuals and how this can be achieved successfully.

Making Change Work (MCW)
Philip will present us insights from global research recently released by IBM, called "Making Change Work" (MCW) and based on interviews with more than 1,550 Change Practitioners across the globe with a very good representation from Australia and New Zealand. The Study does not directly refer to ITIL Change Management but rather to the Cultural and Organisational Change that is required to assure the success of a change programme, such as an ITIL Service Improvement Programme. The Study examined how organisations can manage change and identified strategies for improving project outcomes and closing the "Change Gap".
Many of the change / project / programme statistics frequently quoted are not recent, are not necessarily from a large or representative sample, and do not necessarily have academic rigour. The MCW Study jumps all of these hurdles.
This should be a vital presentation for those professionals who lead or sponsor a change programme or who would like to see the evidence which supports the view that organisational and cultural change needs to be resourced if it is to succeed. It doesn't happen by chance.

Technology, Process and (Oh My God) People!
Within the world of IT Service Management, there are 3 core elements around which we operate:
• Technology (and tool sets)
• Processes
• People
While you can have your processes well defined and good service management systems and technologies in place, it can sometimes be the people or cultural aspects of an organisation which can make or break any change initiative for a business.
As IT professionals, we are constantly invoking change upon people we work with. While people skills may seem an obvious requirement for anyone doing business, gaining the emotional intelligence and skill sets required to negotiate, communicate and facilitate positive results is often an area overlooked by many in the IT industry.
While he’s a long way from being a psychology expert, Tony will share his journey and learning's in regards to effective engagement of people at all levels of the organisation.
This presentation will review the importance of understanding:
• Understanding your own “modus operandi”, your strengths and weaknesses.
• Recognising other personality types and how to adjust your style to connect with them.
• The unacknowledged emotions and silent (2nd level) discussions going on beneath the surface of our fact based, logical work place.

Gershon's Panacea? Automation
Sir Peter Gershon’s report explicitly calls for a reduction in 'Business As Usual' costs, reduction in contractors delivering roles that should be APS, consolidation of data centres and implementation of green technologies. Automation is a key tool to deliver on these directives.
Implementing automation while simple, does require an understanding of "what actually happens” on the IT Operations floor. This session will focus on:
- The tangible and intangible benefits of automation
- The generic architecture of implementing automation
- The steps towards implementing automation
- Examples of automation use cases.

Using Gershon - for Good, not Evil
The Gershon Report contains a set of specific recommendations. The intent of these recommendations is clear - to make IT service delivery more efficient and effective. How well this intent is realised depends in part on how well the implementation is managed, but it also depends on how the agencies respond. This presentation looks at some specific opportunities and threats inherent in this process from an ITSM perspective.

AIM Methodology of Organisational Change
The Accelerating Implementation Methodology (AIM) provides a flexible, but disciplined structure for managing project implementation through to full Return on Investment. AIM can be applied to any kind of initiative or project. While most organisations spend the bulk of their resources and energy on the technical and business process components, the greatest risk
for failure is actually on the human side of the equation. During this session we will look at some of the steps involved in the methodology and discuss reasons why people may or may not want to 'change' or become 'part of the culture'.

Dynamic Harmonics - Change & Transformation
We hear a lot about how cultural transformation is the most challenging aspect of successful service management - and there are numerous approaches and strategies out there (some of which we will discuss), to give us the answers we need.
Yet, even with the wealth of resources at our disposal, people naturally resist “being changed”, and it is often difficult to achieve predictable results. What to do?
This is an attempt to think differently about how to make cultural and organisational change work, looking at nature and music as both a source of inspiration and a means to achieve that most elusive of goals, transformation.

Streamlining the Business of Cabinet
The business of SA Government’s Cabinet Office has long been handled in a manual paper-based format. The Electronic Cabinet Online (ECO) project was undertaken to provide efficiencies in handling and security over Cabinet documents and allow submissions to Cabinet undergo more consideration before decisions are made. This included improving the performance of Cabinet Office in delivering their services to both Cabinet and Agencies.
The project has shown how workflow systems can help improve business efficiency, improve service and provide greater visibility of issues and problems as they occur.

Service Level Agreements
For many years, you have been courting a significant prospect, developing relationships with key stakeholders, slowly building up their knowledge of your company and the services you can provide. Finally, they go to tender and you have the chance to bid for their business...

White Paper
How Service Management Software Solutions Enhance Outsourcing Relationships
When all the indicators on the outsourcing relationship performance dashboard are red, how can the parties confidently move forward together? Or what can a service provider do when, nearing contract renewal time, its client says it wants more visibility into the costs? When there's a conflict between a buyer and service provider, how can they get on the same page and ensure a fact-based approach to conflict resolution instead of emotional, subjective reports from managers or team leaders about what happened? And is there a way to track the "Wow Factor" in service delivery?
Outsourcing is, after all, a services business, and consumers of those services are now demanding of their existing and potential service providers answers to three questions:
1. What services are available?
2. How well are you doing at providing the service?
3. How much does the service actually cost?

Service Activation at Sydney Water
Sydney Water requested the development of a Service Activation process and service based on the various growing pains produced by increasing project volumes introduced into an increasingly complex environment involving middleware, workflow, business intelligence, virtualisation etc.
As an ITIL based operations and services organisation Sydney Water looked for support from ITIL V2 and V3 for this model. While the various service practice areas in V3 supported the model, particularly Design and Transition, there was no real process or method spanning these areas. The importance of this requirement led to Service Activation being developed in anticipation of a further overall ITIL refresh at Sydney Water.
The primary aim of Service Activation is to ensure that capability exists to support new assets before they are commissioned. Service Activation achieves this by providing services to projects and IT Services (operations).

IT Service Value - There is No Silver Bullet
Fujitsu, in partnership with the itSMF conducted a survey of over 200 delegates at the 2007 itSMF Australian National Conference.
The survey findings confirm that many organisations have faced major challenges in implementing ITSM, in the face of growing disillusionment from the business. The opportunity now is for IT managers to discard their belief in ITIL as the ‘silver bullet’, broaden their vision and deliver more real value to the organisation in support of business strategy.

Availability by Accident
Sometimes what an organisation requires is the “fix” for a technical shortfall in operational control. Often this is seen as nothing to do with ITIL adoption or ITSM improvement initiatives in the current “marketed” sense. Nonetheless, the outcomes are often exactly those that purveyors of service methodologies and products would have us believe are only achievable through wholesale adoption of their offerings.

Improving your Customer Service through Knowledge Management
Service management is a knowledge intensive activity in which the skills and experience of staff play a key role in determining success. Promoting the sharing of skills and experience through a Knowledge Management strategy is critical to successful service management outcomes such as;
• faster incident resolution
• increased resolution at first point of contact
• a lowered learning curve for new staff, particularly in first line support
• a reduction in the impact of staff turnover.
What is Knowledge Centered Support?
Knowledge-Centered Support (KCS) is a business methodology that was developed and tested by members of the Consortium for Service Innovation™ (CSI). It is a "just-in-time" approach to knowledge management that integrates knowledge capture and maintenance into the problem solving process. The knowledge that is created improves internal efficiency as well as customer success on the web. The fundamental goal of KCS is to solve a problem once and use the solution repeatedly.
Make Knowledge Management a reality in your business
Transform your service desk by optimising the value of your Knowledge Management assets. To hear how a leading Australian financial planner benefited from a best practice KCA approach to Knowledge Management by attending this seminar and learn how to; create and maintain quality, easy-to-find content; increase use of the knowledge base; articulate the value of knowledge management; common pitfalls to avoid. In this session, Karie James, Global Product Manager for leading 100% web based Service Management solution provider will take you through the three critical areas to ensure success;
1) Transforming your corporate culture to make Knowledge Management a Reality (The People)
2) Delivering Service Excellence through Knowledge Management - A step by step approach (The Process)
3) Identifying the tools for the job: Your checklist for KCS implementation (The Technology)

Paving the Way for Service Management Excellence
Boral Limited is Australia's largest building and construction materials supplier and has significant operations in the USA and in Asia. With A$4.8 billion worth of sales, Boral has over 16,000 employees working across 682 operating sites.
To optimise continuity and front line effectiveness, Boral merged its two corporate service centres - one responsible for Information and Communications Technology and the other for Financial and Payroll services - to create Boral Shared Business Services (SBS). The new entity consolidated multiple service desks and processes to provide a single point of contact for Service Management.
In addition, SBS sought to reduce external spend by in-sourcing Enterprise Monitoring and, at the same time, combining Enterprise Monitoring and Service Management to improve governance of complex business systems and processes. A key challenge for the group was maintaining service continuity while assuming responsibility for Enterprise Monitoring, and implementing an integrated ITIL framework for Incident, Problem and Change Management.
Rob Lutz and Sally Milne will present how Boral SBS exceeded expectations by applying ITIL practices across an IT and Financial Services environment delivering significant and measurable business value.

When the Risks are High
Over the past decade a series of high-profile business scandals and failures where investors, company personnel, and other stakeholders suffered tremendous loss have occurred. In the aftermath were calls for enhanced corporate governance and risk management, with new law, regulation, and listing standards. The need for an enterprise risk management framework, providing key principles and concepts, a common language, and clear direction and guidance, became even more compelling. ISO31000 will replace AS/NZS 4360:2004 in late 2008 as the International Risk Management Standard. ISO31000 will become widely accepted by companies and other organisations and indeed all stakeholders and interested parties.
Grant is leading the implementation of an ERM Program across Defence and he will present the key concepts and philosophy of ERM. He will go through a Defence Overview talking about structure, functions and cultures. Some of the ERM Implementation Challenges will be addressed as Using Risk Appetite and Risk Tolerance as decision making tools. The presentation will give some insights into ERM and offer some guidance on support resources and facilities.

Business Governance of IT and IT Governance of IT - Big Difference
The Business Governance of IT is different from the IT Governance of IT; Business Governance of IT is about performance and can not be done by IT, IT Governance of IT is about Compliance and can not be done by the Business, Getting decision making and accountabilities straight between the Business and IT is critical, the scope of IT governance has to be organisation wide from boardroom to basement in the business and in IT; Boards and Business cannot govern without the appropriate information.
