Many organizations successfully implement many of the service management processes contained within ITIL®. However several processes prove very difficult to implement in practice within organizations. Problem management is one of those processes.
This session includes some of the leading service management experts and looks at what are the main issues and challenges associated with the practical implementation of problem management. The panel will also provide their views on how these issues and challenges can be overcome or avoided.
Problem management is often accused of doing very little more than dealing with the aftermath of incidents. Whilst this performs a useful function, often providing some useful information which incident management can use next time, it’s a long way from reaching the full potential of a mature problem management capability.
The need to forge stronger links and provide greater benefit to incident management is as strong as ever. Add to that the desire for proactivity, whilst maintaining an appropriate balance between reactive and proactive and it’s understandable why this is proving a challenge for many.
Our panel of experts will discuss these challenges and offer advice and guidance based on their significant experience. Bring your problem management questions to this session and we’ll try to deal with as many of them as possible.

Implementing a service catalog isn't a simple "painting by numbers" as the ITIL framework and ISO standards leave large areas for interpretation. This presentation touches on the most obvious success factors of a service catalog implementation: communication, contacts, consistency (and more).
Many people think that problem management is all about root cause analysis. This results in a technical focus which often leads to long outage times and lack of focus on the customer. This presentation describes an alternative approach to problem management which focuses on customer outcomes, following this methodology could help you to reduce the impact of problems on your customers and on their business.

At the end of the company planning process in 2008, British American Tobacco (BAT) realized that there was very little visibility at group level of resources assigned to global projects and programmes being managed by its central functions. The business realized there was an opportunity to gain more visibility of the use of its resources and provide additional direction and focus in a cross functional prioritization forum.
Join BAT as they describe the three year journey they undertook to introduce Portfolio Management to the business and the lessons learned along the way. Learn how to implement project controls in organizations with a low level of maturity; increase maturity need for growth, and quality of project results; determine success factors on implementation of project- and requirements management methods and standards; and establish best practices on setting up Enterprise Project Portfolio Management.
All attendees are eligible for .75 PDU Credit from the Project Management Institute (PMI).
