It’s ITIL Jim, but not as we know it

Mark Smalley is the Lead Editor of ITIL®4 High Velocity IT that explores what IT service management looks like in digitally enabled organizations. He consulted with fifty industry colleagues from twenty countries to determine the desired topics, and engaged twenty of them as co-authors. In this presentation, he shares ‘the making of’ story and his thoughts on key topics such as ethics, unpredictability, safety culture, service-dominant logic, operating models and value streams (which is where the action happens).

Key words: digital transformation, co-creation of business value, complexity thinking, ethics, unpredictability, safety culture, service-dominant logic, operating models, value streams.
