Is Your ITSM Program Still Relevant? 
More Importantly, are you? 
Session 609 
David Mainville
Hi Everyone! 
• CEO & Cofounder, Navvia 
• 34 years of varied ITSM experience 
– Field Systems Engineer 
– Systems Management Architect 
– Service Management Consultant 
– Service and Support Manager 
– Product Development / Management 
– Entrepreneur 
• “360 degree” view of ITSM governance
There has never been a bigger need for ITSM 
governance than now!
So many more “moving parts” 
Outsourcing 
Security 
Regulatory 
Issues 
Cloud 
Computing 
Mobility 
(BYOD)
But what is governance? 
“IT governance is defined as the leadership and 
organizational structures, processes and relational 
mechanisms that ensure that an organization's IT sustains 
and extends its strategy and objectives”. 
Information Systems Audit 
and Control Association
What’s your organizations view on ITSM 
governance?
When it comes to ITSM governance… 
Most People Don’t Care!
More Accurately 
People care about getting their job done!
People care about getting it done! 
I’ve got the business demanding more… 
I’ve got to find ways to reduce cost… 
I’m busy keeping IT running… 
Executives 
Management 
Technicians
We don’t see things “eye to eye” 
ITSM Practitioners 
“processes improve services, 
save money and underpin 
business processes” 
IT Stakeholders 
“processes are bureaucratic, 
implementations keep failing 
and the business suffers”
We inherently know ITSM delivers value 
It’s meaningless if the program fails
Without governance ITSM will fail!
Governance & ITSM 
Without governance it’s virtually impossible 
to keep your ITSM program on track and 
delivering results 
Processes Will Fail 
ITSM takes the hit
We can talk frameworks…
But will that inspire your IT partners?
What we have here 
is a failure to communicate
So what's your #1 job? 
Making ITSM relevant through 
ITSM leadership
ITSM leaders are… 
Authentic Honest Inspirational 
Listeners Communicators
It all starts with communication

Everyone to Take Action” – Simon Sinek

Listening is critical 
• What are the desired 
business outcomes 
• What’s working or not 
working for the customer 
• Are you adding value or 
imposing overhead 
• What are the gaps that ITSM 
needs to address
You need to collaborate 
If it weren’t for the pesky 
user our ITSM program 
would be going great
You must collaborate to deliver results 
• ITSM success is critical to 
sustainability 
• Remember who your 
customer is – get their 
consensus and buy-in 
• Avoid “big bang” or “out of 
the box” installs 
• Build metrics and reporting 
into the program 
Don’t wear a bulls eye on 
your back
You need to hold people accountable 
VS 
New research says it needs to be a combination of both 
"Carrot and Stick" Motivation Revisited by New Research 
Nov 22, 2013 by Ray Williams in Wired for Success
An ITSM governance approach
Governance is Key to ITSM success 
• Get people involved and vested in ITSM 
• Get consensus and hold people accountable for 
what they agreed to 
• Produce evidence that the ITSM program is 
working and meeting the needs of the stakeholders 
• Communicate success in terms that are meaningful 
to your stakeholders
ITSM is at the crossroads 
Relevant 
Which way do you want to go? 
Irrelevant
Is your ITSM program relevant 
More importantly, are you?
Is your ITSM program relevant? 
It doesn’t matter what ITSM tool you’ve selected, or 
how detailed your process documents are, if you 
haven't won the hearts & minds of the people your 
ITSM program will fail.
