Speaking Sessions

 

Stream – Real People
John Griffiths (Fox IT) will be speaking on
“The People Puzzle – How do you fit all the pieces?”

Tuesday 11th November from 10:10 to 10:50

Synopsis:
People talk about good and bad organisational culture. In reality, there are really only different cultures into which we are trying to apply a Service Management culture. This presentation looks at how organisational culture impacts Service Management from both a positive and negative aspect. Predicting the outcome of interactions or team working between various types of people can be a challenge. This presentation seeks to give some pointers to look for in meeting that challenge.

About John Griffiths:
John was awarded Trainer of the Year at the itSMF awards ceremony in 2007. This was a new award last year and John was the first person to receive Trainer of the Year from itSMF. The award is for the individual who the judges felt had a high evidence of customer satisfaction when it came to training.
