Overview

When your project is people-dependent, how do you get their buy-in?

Attitudes and behavior are the biggest barriers to making changes within organizations. IT process implementation is no different. How do you do it? What is the key? What are the pitfalls? It is one thing to be told how to do these things, but wouldn’t it be better to hear how someone else has handled similar problems?


Learn from previous experience

Meet the book’s hero, Chris. Chris is assigned a seemingly impossible task—a problem that many previous project managers couldn't fix. Will Chris go the way of previous project managers and be "given the opportunity to be more successful elsewhere," or will he deliver the objectives and impress company leadership?


Changing attitudes, working together, finding solutions

For this project to be successful, Chris needs to change the way colleagues and superiors approach the problem. Learn from the successes—and mistakes—as you join in the search for workable solutions and attempts to bring colleagues and superiors on board.

By reading this book, you will understand:

  • What your colleagues want and how to obtain their support
  • How to communicate your goals in way that inspires colleges and encourages them to take ownership of relevant parts of the process
  • How to build your own credibility and the importance of measuring and communicating your successes
  • How to communicate about the project to staff at all levels
  • How to identify your clients and keep them happy
  • The importance of communicating the "Why," as well as the "What" and the "How" of your project

...an excellent book for readers wanting the implement ITIL for the first time. The book is written in a story format that is easy to understand and walks through the process of setting up and establishing incident management, problem management, and change management...I would recommend this book to anyone looking to implement ITSM practices in their company for the first time and are not sure where to start. The book is very easy to read and is filled with useful information and tips.

... a thought-provoking story, full of illustrations of the real-world conversations, objections, politics and emotions that pose the greatest challenges to successful ITSM implementations... This book would be ideal for practitioners who have completed their ITIL Foundation training and so are somewhat familiar with these three critical ITIL processes, and are ready to use this newfound knowledge in the real world. But even the experienced might benefit from the reminders highlighted at the end of each chapter in "Tips that would have helped Chris"... This is an extremely quick read, and one I found hard to put down
