Where is your organization on its ITSM journey?

The journey of service improvement can take the IT organization from the reactive and technology-centric focus characterized by the helpdesk, to a vision of business-centered services which drive value to the ultimate benefit of the organization. Where is your organization on its ITSM journey?

White papers: The 'Chaos to Value' series offers invaluable advice on progressing your ITSM journey.

Chaos to Value: The ITSM Journey - Part 1 - Chaos to Technology Focus
This first paper examines the initial stages of the ITSM maturity journey, starting with the 'chaotic' initial steps and explaining how the adoption of ITIL can provide fast benefit, setting the stage for further maturity.

Chaos to Value: The ITSM Journey - Part 2 - Technology to Service Focus
This second white paper looks at the next stage in the ITSM journey, the evolution from a "technology" to "service" focus. Hornbill's research found that the majority of ITIL adopters are at this stage of their journey. They have adopted the basic ITIL processes, realized benefits, and are now looking to become more service focused. It is this stage of the journey that demands the greatest cultural shift, requiring IT staff to think less about "servers" and more about "services".
