You’re uncertain about ITIL’s ability to deliver on promises of service innovation and optimization.

You’d like to be certain of how ITIL is essential to IT innovation and optimization.

You’re looking to be an innovative IT Service provider.

Discover the three missing pieces for delivering IT innovation and service delivery optimization.

IT Leaders that face disruptive technologies fail when laws of organizational nature overpower them.

Principle #1: Service organizations depend on customers and “investors” for resources

Established firms are successful at staying atop sustaining technologies (technologies their customers need) but stumble over disruptive ones.

Managers may think they control the flow of resources in their firms, in the end it is really customers/”investors” who dictate how money will be spent.

Successful service providers ensconce themselves among a different set of customers – those who want the products of disruptive technologies.

Principle #2: Markets that don’t exist can’t be analyzed.

Hallmarks of good management for sustaining innovation include understanding markets.

Avoid analysis paralysis when entering disruptive technology markets.

Focus on discovery based planning.

Principle #3: Technology supply may not equal market demand.

Disruptive technologies can become full performance- competitive within the mainstream market against established products.

Customers can no longer base their choice upon which is the higher performing product.

Companies must carefully measure trends to catch the points at which the basis of competition will change.
