Doesn't IT feel as if everything is about to change? And that you are the ones who can change it Join Ian Aitchison as he describes how Process is becoming Physical, how re-thinking ITIL Event Management actually provides the key to changing the future of IT Service Management, and how dramatic shifts in current and pending technology have the potential to take us beyond the tipping point - into a new world of User Oriented IT. Not just ideas and inspiration, this session contains practical examples of re-shaping 'back-end' ITIL activities into measurable improvements in IT Customer productivity. If you don't engage now. You might not be engaged tomorrow. For more about TFT please visit www.tomorrowsfuturetoday.com Submit to speak at #TFT14 here: list.ly/list/7Pn-tft14-february-2014

6. It’s Getting Bigger
2017, there will be 3.6 billion global Internet users,
up from 2.3 billion global Internet users in 2012
By 2017, average global broadband speed will grow 3.5-fold,
from 11.3 Mbps (2012) to 39 Mbps (2017)
By 2017, global IP traffic will reach an annual run
rate of 1.4 zettabytes, up from 523 exabytes in
2012

On April 12, 2013, Fox News
published a story indicating that
the new NSA Data Center south of
Salt Lake City, UT, will be able to
contain up to 5 zettabytes of data,
"according to some reports”.

11. What is Taking All Usage?
2012 12 billion networked devices in 2012
2017 19 billion networked devices globally
2012 Average household 4.7 connected devices
2017 Average rises to 7.1 connected devices

smartphones, and televisions)

12. Twine

14. And the REACH is Growing

15. Massively Interconnected Internet of Devices, Mobile, Wifi.
And it’s only going to increase

16. AND We like to get CLOSE

17. Human Technology Proximity
• Lots and Lots of Devices
CLOSE to everyone
• I wake, I reach out and touch
Technology
• As I move I stay connected to
the Internet

18. Get Up?

19. Ever Closer Proximity

20. QR Codes – Point and Interact

21. • Lots and Lots of Devices CLOSE to everyone
• This is what technology is bringing us – close
proximity to highly interconnected world.
• Mindboggling size and complexity. Invisible to
us
• But very CLOSE

22. As we swim in technology
Our EXPECTATIONS Change
• Our expectations of NORMAL are changed.
• We expect to reach out and touch what we want or need
• We expect to do it ourselves
• What is normal now?
CONSUMERISATION is EXPECTATION

23. Work is what I do…
not a place I go
I Will Be Productive...
My Way

24. So, In Summary
There IS enough Internet to go around
There IS Connectivity everywhere
People LIKE Technology
People Carry and Wear Technology
People WANT to be Self Sufficient
People WANT to be Productive
So Why Can’t IT Take Advantage of This?

25. NOW, What’s The Deal with ‘Corporate IT’?

26. “Most of what we call Management consists of making it
difficult for people to get their work done.” -Peter F. Drucker
Does this apply to IT Management?
Does IT Control Suppress Business Innovation?
IT is playing catch-up. Attempting to enforce CONTROL.
IT is Evolutionary…
Technology is Revolutionary!

28. Where does ITIL actually TOUCH the HumanEndUser?
 Availability Management
 Capacity Management
 Change Management
 Event Management
 Financial Management
 Incident Management
 Knowledge Management
 Problem Management
 Release Management
 Request Fulfillment Management
 Service Asset & Configuration Management
 Service Catalogue Management
 Service Level Management
 Service Portfolio Management
 IT Service Continuity Management

36 processes and
functions.

with
HumanEndUser
<20%

30. So, In Summary
So the Demand is There
The Infrastructure Is There
IT Struggles
What’s the Solution
?

31. Lets look at ITSM Tools

32. What other tools let you...
• Build web sites, dashboards, windows, metrics
• Communicate via email, phone, social
• Design human workflow
• Measure performance
• Across all platforms and devices
• Integrate with other tools

33. Using ITSM Tools only for “ITIL”
• Is like using a multifunction food processor to only slice cucumbers
• Excellent at it, but there’s so much more possible

34. Potential
You can do so much more
HR, FM, DevOps, Project Mgmnt, Asset
Mgnt, Social Communication, Room
Booking, Self Service, Mobile....
PROCESS with UI

35. Now, Let’s Look Deeper -
Let’s Look At One Area where ITSM Tools can CHANGE the Game
• Event Management
• A unique ‘toolset’ perspective that maybe cannot be seen from a
documentation, formal, rule-book angle
• But what IS Event Management?

36. Event Management
NOT
THIS

37. Event Management from an ITSM TOOL Perspective
An event is an ITSM process followed when a notification of the relevant type
is received from a monitoring tool.
Events may or may not create further Incidents or Changes
Events are CREATED, UPDATED and CLOSED by external tools

38. SO what?
What is special about event management?
IT IS SIMPLE, AUTOMATIC INTERACTION WITH ITSM
PROCESSES.
Machines talk to Processes.
People design processes. Technology talks to Processes.
IF YOU HAVE EVENT MANAGEMENT YOU HAVE THE
ABILITY TO TOUCH ANY ITSM PROCESSES
It’s been there all the time and we didn’t notice

39. Need an
Incident? 
Need a
Change? 
Created By External Tool

40. Added By External Tool
Added By External Tool
EXTERNAL TOOLS
INTERACT DIRECTLY
WITH PROCESSES
EXTERNAL TOOLS
PRESS ITSM
‘BUTTONS’
HTTP://performmypr
ocessaction.com

41. BUT, EVENTS
• DON’T HAVE TO COME FROM MONITORING TOOLS
• In fact, forget that whole ‘Back End’, “IT Behind The Wall thing”
• Why Not “PUSH A BUTTON?” to interact with ANY PROCESS
• “HUMAN EVENTS”. Nothing to do with ITIL Event Management
• Everything to do with PEOPLE interacting with PROCESS
Added By External Tool

42. The Event Horizon
So, this is NOT about ITIL Event Management and NOT about Monitoring
Tools
This is about HUMANS
LET’S LET THE HUMAN END USER INTERACT WITH THE PROCESS
DIRECTLY
(And not having to go to a Self Service Portal at all)

43. Not Self Service “Portal” ?
Distribute BUTTONS that INTERACT with ITSM PROCESSES
around YOUR BUSINESS
Soon it will be NFC,
for now it can still be QR

44. QR Codes – more than stupid

45. Let’s experience
• Better living in a Human-Event driven, Self
Service, Mobile world.
• It’s a Day in the life.
• NOT BACK END. FRONT END
• ALL POSSIBILE
• ALL ITSM PROCESS TOUCHED BY
HUMANENDUSER
