Translating this inspiration into practice is the second step and in traditional training, this is not part of a course and each delegate is left alone.

As an IT Professional, you are responsible for delivering high-quality IT services that meet the needs and expectations of your customers and stakeholders. Having a solid understanding of the ITIL Framework and how it can benefit your IT environment, will help you manage IT resources, processes, and risks effectively and efficiently.
The ITIL Framework can help IT service management to align IT services with business objectives and outcomes. ITIL covers the entire IT service lifecycle, from strategy and design to operations and improvement. ITIL also provides guidance on how to adopt and adapt to emerging technologies and trends, such as cloud computing, automation, AI, DevOps, Agile, and more.
What You Can Expect
In this ITIL Conference, that we will organise in Italy, France and Belgium, we will address various topics in the light of the IT Service Management Landscape in 2024. In Belgium, we will focus on the topic of “Continual Improvement in ITIL“.
Speakers and Agenda of the Day
ITIL Today and Tomorrow | 9:10 AM
Roman Jouravlev, ITIL Senior Architect | PeopleCert
Under the umbrella of “Continual Improvement in ITIL“, Roman will reveal the latest news with regards to ITIL developments at PeopleCert. He will shed light to what ITIL architects have been working on in 2024 and what to expect from ITIL in 2025. You can envision an engaging speech on Value Stream Management, AI in ITSM, improvements to the ITIL implementation guide, Practices Guides updates, and more.
After this presentation there will be a round table discussion of about 25 minutes in which we invite all guests to participate. After sharing our learnings with the group, we will have a short coffee break around 10:30AM.
An ITIL-Inspired Journey | 10:45
Pierre-Yves Dyon, Project Manager & Partner | Easi
Coralie Therssen, Project Manager & Partner – Managed IT Solutions | Easi
The topic of “Continual Improvement in ITIL” also applies to the story of Pierre-Yves and Coralie. A few years ago they realised their ticketing tool was no longer aligned with the scope of services. They will share their ITIL-inspired journey of “Implementing a new IT Service Management tool” and how this change was aligned with their ITIL-practices.
After this presentation there will be a second round table discussion of about 25 minutes in which we invite all guests to participate. After sharing our learnings with the group, there will be a final closing speech by QRP and if time allows, there will be Q&A for any outstanding questions. For those that want, there will be a quick and simple lunch at 12:30.
Why You Should Attend
Maybe you have already followed an ITIL Foundation or Intermediate course, passed the exam and are now a proud owner of an ITIL certificate. But what do you do next, how do you actually apply ITIL on a daily basis? ITIL is created to adopt and adapt, to tailor to your organisation, but that is easier said than done.
