Registration for this virtual event will open soon.


DESCRIPTION
Mark Smalley has been involved in the XLA domain for about five years and has written a book with
his reflections on a contentious topic. The book is for people who are concerned about the effect of
IT services on people and their business. It shares thoughts on what some see as a hype, and others
as a call to action.
Do you believe that people’s emotional well-being is affected by IT services, that the IT industry has
much to answer for, and that people deserve better? Do you feel morally obliged to act but don’t
know what to do next? If so, then Reflections on XLA might get you started.
Afterall, XLA is an integral part of IT service management.

Mark Smalley, also known as The IT Paradigmologist, helps IT people understand service. People
collaborate with Mark to discover where they are and to visualize where they want to be. Mark is a
writer, speaker and coach at Smalley.IT and has contributed to the professional development of
digital and IT service management in more than thirty countries.

Stay tuned for more updates …. It’s coming

ABOUT THE EVENT

WHEN

19:00, 26 SEPTEMBER, 2019

WHERE

UDPATED – CTG BELGIUM, DIEGEM

IN PREPARATION OF THIS SESSION, WE STARTED WITH THE PREMISE: “BEING AN AGILE ORGANISATION IS GOOD, BEING AN AGILE SERVICE ORGANISATION IS BETTER.”
THIS RAISED MANY QUESTIONS. HERE ARE A FEW:
WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF DRIVING AGILITY FROM A SERVICE PERSPECTIVE INSTEAD OF A DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE? HOW CAN YOU COMBINE CONTROL AND FLOW IN AN AGILE SERVICE ORGANISATION? CAN SILOS EXIST IN SUCH AN ORGANISATION? WHO DEFINES THE PACE? WHO CREATES THE VALUE? WHAT IS NEEDED TO GET THERE?

AFTER THIS INTRODUCTION, WE WILL SPLIT UP THE ATTENDEES IN SMALLER TEAMS. WITH THESE SMALLER ROUND-TABLE SESSIONS, WE WILL FACILITATE THE DISCUSSION AND EXPERIENCE SHARING ON AGILE SERVICE MANAGEMENT. WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON AGILE SERVICE MANAGEMENT? WHAT WORKS? WHAT NOT? HOW DID YOU OVERCOME OBSTACLES? ALL THESE LESSONS LEARNED ARE MADE AVAILABLE FOR THE ATTENDING AUDIENCE AFTERWARDS.

THIS WILL BE A HIGHLY INTERACTIVE SESSION, WITH A BIG OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN FROM EACH OTHER.
THE ITSMF LOOKS FORWARDS MEETING YOU.
