Avast me Matey's and take special heed...Today be September the 19th!

Today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Those that know me personally are aware that for years I was a Pirate, but I've since  retired.

But today is the one day each year when all young puppies and Sapsuckers can come out of their retirement and express their true muse without raising significant suspicion about the state of their sanity.

So empty your bilges and hoist the Mainsail.  They day be already half-gone for both Swabbies and Captains alike.  Speak with the siren voice of a Mermaid, or babble like a Parrot but be quick...for the hour of Midnight soon approaches!

ITIL Should Not be Hard.

A Position Paper on the topic of ITIL implementation.

Abstract

Why is it that the transition to an ITIL based Service Delivery model is considered difficult?  Or more accurately why does it sometimes take a long time for ITIL projects to gain the required acceptance and maturity in order to deliver Business Value and ROI?

ITIL should not be hard.  If you do IT you are already doing ITIL whether you know it or not.  ITIL is just a Framework based upon a Strategy to refine and optimize all aspects of IT Service Delivery, also know as ITSM or IT Service Management.  The real question is not, "Why is implementing ITIL hard?", but rather the real question is, "How well  are you implementing ITIL"?
