Back in my previous life, I would work occasionally with a mythical figure who could do magic—The Reporting Guy. Here was a person who could pull all kinds of details from the ITSM solution and come up with the most incredible spreadsheets, pivot tables and slide decks imaginable.

Some time ago, I wrote about the latest happenings after the announcement by the UK Government Cabinet Office to enter into a joint venture with Capita for the Best Management Practice Portfolios.

Every now and again, an all-too-rare thing happens to me these days—I get great customer service! More often than not, bad customer service can leave us even more agitated than the situation we needed assistance with.

I only ask, because the other day I spotted a forum where a keen, recently Foundation-certified person was handed a short sharp rebuke, for asking if he could include the official logo on his résumé to show off his new skill. His chastiser was a Red-Badge old-salt who brought up the fact that this poor...

So you’ve read the ITIL book, been on the course, copied and tweaked the diagrams in PowerPoint/Visio and you have a bunch of things you can loosely term as service requests or standard changes.
