Why is this important?
- IT is not able to apply the ITSM best practices at a strategic level.
- Very few IT departments know the definition of a Service(Value, Outcomes, Costs, Risks), let alone use it to drive their ITSM improvement initiatives and deliver services to demonstrate this.
- The majority of IT organizations are still experiencing top ABC of ICT worst practices (as identified by more than 3000 IT organizations).
- Not understanding business impact and priority
- IT is too internal focused
- Too little Business involvement in requirements specification and testing
- Business & IT alignment has been in the top 3 CIO priorities for more than 10 years. Still only 15% say they are aligned whilst 80% of businesses say this is critical. We do not know how to achieve alignment.
