Business alignment is a well-worn phrase in IT, but how often does is it deliver?

ITIL allows IT to identify …..

1. WHAT the service is meant to deliver, and ….
2. HOW it needs to be delivered.

In this presentation, Geoff Senson (LinkedIn profile) explores how the latest edition of ITIL (released in August 2011) builds upon its best practice foundation to incorporate stronger business relationship management and stronger ties to other disciplines such as Project Management – leading to improved business alignment!

What does LEAN mean to you?
Lean-thinking is the combination of applying known software development principles with lean-management and lean-learning work in order to speed time-to-market while improving quality and lowering costs. It provides insights from project initiation through development, deployment and consumption by the customer (internal in IT and external in product companies). Lean focuses on helping people improve the environment and systems in which they work.
