Topic Contents

 * A session to agree the intent, purpose and definition of the ITIL Manifesto.
 * We gathered many great ideas earlier in the year, and we still want to do something with them. The ITSM14 session asked us questions we didn’t necessarily have answers for, so this is a session to answer one of them - and arguably the most important - what the purpose, intent and definition of the ITIL Manifesto is.
 * We’ll also talk about the ITIL Manifesto in relation to similar initiatives, who our customers are and how we test the manifesto with them.

Peter Brooks @fustbariclation
Author, consultant and trainer, based in Cape Town, specialising in services and governance. I've a particular interest in the intersection between service management, business analysis, governance and design, and how this affects value realisation, risk analysis and mitigation. This leads me to have an interest in the nature of services, and designing for reliability and security. I worked for Hewlett-Packard for twenty years, and have been independent for fifteen. So far, I've written books on metrics, requirements, and consulting. Technically, I'm interested in the open source revolution, demand and capacity management and the return of Ada for secure, reliable programming. I'm a member of the itSMF and Taking Service Forward and I'm enthusiastic about the future of the Adaptive Service Model.
