Service Management Innovation
Why innovation in ITSM has become a strategic imperative
Innovation in IT service management is no longer optional. As organisations become more digital, interconnected, and dependent on technology, traditional ITSM approaches increasingly struggle to support the pace and direction of business change.
This leadership session explores how the role of ITSM is evolving in a digital-first world. It examines why legacy service management models often create friction rather than flow, and how IT leaders can break through that inertia to deliver meaningful, sustainable innovation across their service management capability.
This session is aimed at CIOs and service leaders who recognise that incremental improvement is no longer enough, but who want a clear, practical path to modernising ITSM without losing control.

Why this matters
Many organisations sense that their service management practices are no longer keeping pace with the demands placed on IT. However, innovation is often approached as a series of isolated initiatives — new tools, new processes, or short-term improvements — rather than as a coherent shift in how service management operates.
When this happens, ITSM becomes caught between outdated models and modern expectations. Teams feel constrained, leaders struggle to prioritise change, and service management risks being seen as a barrier rather than a strategic enabler.
This session matters because it reframes ITSM innovation as a leadership-led transformation, not a technical upgrade. It highlights the need to address culture, capability, and operating mindset alongside process and tooling, enabling organisations to build service management practices that are adaptive, resilient, and aligned to business outcomes.
