the use of a story to illustrate both ITIL(R) process basics and the
inherent implementation challenges makes this a powerful but quick, easy
read."" Susan Schellhase, itSMF USA member Based on the real-life
experiences of the author and other ITSM professionals, Catalogs,
Services and Portfolios - An ITSM success story is a fictional account
of change management surrounding ITSM projects. It tells the story of
ITSM practitioner Chris as he learns how to deal with resistance to
change and overcome inertia in staff behavior. Through his experiences,
readers encounter the common challenges faced when implementing change
in an IT service management context. The 'tips that would have helped
Chris' sections are packed with helpful advice for anyone facing similar
challenges. The narrative style of the book helps readers understand how
to manage resistance to change and the lack of empathy that often exists
between IT and the business it supports. Presenting a realistic overview
of an ITSM implementation, the book is equally suitable for newly
qualified ITIL professionals and as an inspiration for team discussions.
