How to ensure proper CSI

Monday 12:10pm - 12:40pm, itSMF Service Management conference (itSMFnz 2 Room)

Take a guided tour through the intricacies of Continual Service Improvement (CSI).

Steve Tremblay will introduce the ISO standards that exist and guide organisations on how to conduct such assessments.

He will focus on why using an assessment based on a recognised international standard is important to get better quality of results, and consistent results between assessments.

Steve will show two methods based on this ISO standard; the COBIT 5 assessment method and the TIPA for ITILĀ® assessment method.

He will complete the presentation by presenting the project steps that are critical to a good assessment, including those steps that most organisations struggle with - the initiation, scoping and the SWOT analysis.

Come out of this session with a better understanding of why the assessment is so critical to the success of CSI, the critical steps involved in an assessment and the details of the initiation, scoping and SWOT analysis steps.
