In 2012, Matt Hooper predicted that the ITSM professional would need to educate themselves in security, analytics, and enterprise knowledge.
Fast-forward five years and the greatest need for ITSM value is security, analytics & knowledge.
What will the next five years bring? What new and advanced skills will be required for us to support business in 2020?
In this session Hooper, will explain how DevOps, ShadowIT, Cloud and other disruptive movements will change IT as we know it.
By reviewing some trends, and following the business evolution that is happening, we will layout the critical skills gap that will develop, and what opportunities this will hold out for ITSM professionals.
Hosted by Matt Hooper, this panel of Karen Ferris, Rob England, Lou Hunnebeck & Mark Smalley will discuss how to integrate "traditional" frameworks (e.g. ITIL) with other approaches (e.g. DevOps & Agile).
