you stay motivated and that you motivate your colleagues and partners?
How do you ensure that you as an individual, and also your team, can achieve top
performances while you blossom full of energy and experience no stress? Part of the
answer lies in how you stimulate your motivation and that of those around you.

Biography
Hermina Van Coillie


Dr. Hermina Van Coillie is a motivation expert, senior consultant and business manager
at Flourish. She has been guiding teams, managers and organizations for years and,
thanks to the basic principles of SDT (self-determination theory) and connective
communication, she brings them to their optimal level of functioning. Not only do the
employees and managers flourish as a result, but the organizations and their customers
also reap the benefits of her approach.
Hermina Van Coillie obtained her doctorate at KU Leuven (Quantitative and Personality
Psychology) in 2004 and worked for two years as a postdoctoral researcher at the
Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, where her focus was on individual
differences in the experience of emotions.
She worked for fourteen years as a research expert at the Securex study center, where
she wrote numerous white papers, reports, press releases and scientific articles and
often appeared in the national and regional press. Her research themes are aging and
working longer, burnout, well-being, mobility, flexibility, time and place independent
work, work addiction, work-life balance, remuneration and leadership. She always
makes the link with SDT.
She is a much sought-after speaker and often gives lectures, workshops, training
courses, guest lectures and masterclasses on her research themes. She is a member of
the Council of Wise Men of the ESF and teaches in various HRM postgraduate courses
(Ehsal Management School, HOGENT, Artevelde University College Ghent). She is a
member of the Advisory Board of the Leuven Mindfulness Center and is one of the
experts at “Peace For Talent”.

Has your organisation an unstable or foggy view on her demand, you might also struggle with portfolio management. In the past 20 years we have seen IT evolving from a technical oriented team to a more business-oriented department.  Service Management became hot and in the latest evolution value is the key word. But how do I organise my demand? What is Portfolio Management really? And why is it so complicated?

In this presentation, Pieter Hoekstra will talk about the 7 steps to improve your grip on demand with portfolio management. During this 1 hour session, the participants will also work in a short break out to experience one of the steps. The impact of Technical Dept will be explained in relation to a Minimum Viable Service.  And how release management is one of the cornerstones to manage the workload while keeping a professional way of working and to manage expectations.

BIO of Pieter Hoekstra

My first idea was that my work is bridging the gap between business and IT. But behind this idea is mainly bridging the gap between groups and people in their mutual relationship, the processes, technology, and their routines. I found a unique mix of training, workshops, implementation, and improvement of the services of (IT) organizations.

My career started as a trainer and IT consultant at Pink Elephant, for their client Shell. I later worked for KLM, in their IT organization, for more than 10 years, and then in Marketing and HR. In collaboration with McKinsey, I have been able to do strategic projects and have experienced how consultancy work works. Within CTG Belgium, I became business unit manager and learned a lot about the Belgium market.  Subsequently, I made the step to organizational consultancy firm Quint Wellington Redwood (Quint), in roles as trainer, project manager, and country manager Belgium and Luxembourg. Fascinated by the (dis) functioning of groups, I followed intensive training in group dynamics.

Since 2012, I am part of Begrip.be as managing partner, helping people further and providing new insights in the field of group dynamics and service provision based on their bottlenecks. Begrip.be is accredited education partner, certified for USM, licensed for ITIL and Insights.  I am author of ITIL4 training material, reviewer of Service Management content and recent also involved as co-writer in DASA (DevOps) material.

Paul Wilkinson

Paul summarizes his top 10 success factors. These success factors represent hundreds of thousands of hours of shared learning that can help accelerate and improve your chances of transformational success and reduce the pain, cost, and anger of business if we fail.

Kaimar Karu

The key challenges that organizations and nations face in the transition to digital governance are not digital, but are completely analog in nature. In this lecture, Kaimar Karu will explore these challenges, suggest ways to address them, and provide models for integrating technology into existing ways of working.

Eddy Peters

In this presentation, we will explore that being an agile organization has a different definition depending on where you ask. Failure to understand this difference will have a profound impact on development and service organization collaboration. As a result, the agile promise of rapid quality delivery can prove to be a recipe for rapid failure that will adversely affect the user experience. And that’s something developers and service providers don’t want. To understand the difference, we can explore what can be done to ensure that agility fulfills this promise and becomes a tool for the user experience with constant benefits.

This event is a remote Zoom event

When Paul Wilkinson announced on Linkedin (as a joke) that he had a new framework that would change everything!  He had 8 times the usual amount of hits! We in IT like shiny new things, thinking (and hoping) that they will solve our problems, but many of our problems come from the fact that we haven’t got the basics right! And we never got the old things to do what they were intended to do. He have seen this repeat in cycles over the last 40 years.

Now digital transformation is the latest Industry Shiny New Thing. But 70% of transformation initiatives fail to achieve the hoped for values. “I could have predicted that this would happen!” Not because I’m smart but because of the basics. So why are they failing? What are the basics we still haven’t got right and what is the ‘Shiny New Thing’ that would make everything better?  

Bio:

Paul has been actively involved in ITSM for more than 40 years in a variety of roles from operations, to development to IT management. He was also actively involved in the development of ITIL Practitioner which introduced the Guiding principles to align ITIL to a more Agile way of working. Paul is Business Development Director of GamingWorks, the company that developed the internationally renowned ‘Apollo 13 – an ITSM case experience’ ITSM simulation game, the ‘Phoenix Project’ DevOps simulation and most recently the MarsLander simulation which can be used to support ITIL®4 training and culture change. He was also co-author and developer of the ‘ABC of ICT’ (The Attitude, Behavior and Culture of ICT) publications, having conducted ABC workshops and simulation workshops with delegates representing more than 5000 organizations worldwide. He is a DASA ambassador.

The slovakian chapter of itSMF is hosting a conference about Value!

Last year was a catalyst that brought digital business innovation to the forefront of all organizations. 2021 is the year to build on this momentum to enhance customer engagement, experience, generate new revenue and serve our customers.

itSMF Slovensko, a leader in the world of IT Service Management in CEE, is organizing 15th annual IT Service Management conference and addresses the “Value Experience” as an inspiration for all business stakeholders for whom 2020 was one of those challenging years. Share and prioritize what real value is, decide for meaningful changes to get the best value out of it.

While we build the full IT Service Management Conference 2021 agenda, explore the conference topics.

Topics at a Glance

  • Business value
  • People – Hoax Value
  • Customer Experience
  • Digitalization
  • ITSM/ESM
  • Enterprise Service Management
  • Software development and support
  • ITIL 4
  • Automation after 2021 – (Robotic Process Automation, Machine Learning, AI)

This year’s program will offer interesting keynotes and breakout sessions dedicated to Value Experience in the IT Service Management industry.

The conference is designed for service managers and business professionals working in this field. We value diversity, and welcome professionals with varying backgrounds and experience

The better ways of working that are growing so quickly challenge much that we believe. They overturn many principles we built a career on. E.g.: IT servers are cattle not pets. Breed and slaughter them. If it hurts, do it more. Don’t go

The better ways of working that are growing so quickly challenge much that we believe. They overturn many principles we built a career on. E.g.:

  • IT servers are cattle not pets. Breed and slaughter them.
  • If it hurts, do it more.
  • Don’t go faster, do less.
  • Do nothing until the last responsible moment.
  • Break things to make them stronger.
  • Managers don’t know the answers.
  • All work is experiment.
  • Failure is the path to success. It is a normal part of everyday work.
  • Maximise the work not done.
  • You can’t measure a knowledge worker.
  • Management are the servants of the work.
  • A bad system beats good people every time.

Perhaps one of the hardest to get our heads around is that we don’t know until we do something. We never know what is going to happen until we do the experiment. We can make a pun on “do” and say “You don’t know until you do”.

Because the world is VUCA.

Most of all, we don’t know the future (unless we’re psychic).

And yet we have all these rituals that imply we do know what will happen.and that it will work:

  • Business case.
  • Project plan.
  • Total cost of ownership 
  • Training programme.
  • Business plan.
  • Reorg.
  • Business process reengineering.
  • SLAs.
  • Target operating model.
  • Annual budget.
  • Production change request rollback plan.

What if we admit we don’t know the future? How do we Survive and Thrive in a VUCA world? How do we plan?

I’ve been exploring the answers. I will talk about how S&T Happens.

Presented by Stefan Lodewijckx and Arnaud Delcroix

Stefan Lodewijckx has been with Devoteam for over 15 years. He leads their Business Automation department. – He is fascinated by Innovation – Technology and continuous improvement. 

He has a strong focus on connecting the dots between business value and the realization via technological innovation.  

Arnaud Delcroix is the ESM Practice Manager for Devoteam Belgium. 

He’s been working for Devoteam for 16 years, focusing on ITSM and ITOM projects.

Arnaud and his team are launching new initiatives within Devoteam to expand the Service Management best practices and lessons learned to benefit the business processes of today’s digital enterprises.

Ideally, the ITSM application should be able to offer senior management an overview of the cost of each service that the organization makes available to its employees. These services are, after all, the tools that the employees rely on to be successful and a lot of money is spent on them. Being able to generate a breakdown of the costs by service is an important first step toward controlling these costs. How this can be done in a service management application is explained in the first part of this presentation.
The second part focuses on the next step: breaking down the service costs by customer. This allows an organization to charge back the costs of services to the departments that use them. Most organizations struggle with internal chargeback, but it is relatively straightforward to do this efficiently and more precisely using the service management application.

Presented by Cor Winkler Prins

Cor is the CEO and co-founder of 4me, the first service management solution that enables seamless collaboration between enterprises and their external providers. He started his career in the service management industry in 1996 helping to set up the global consulting organization for, what later became, HP OpenView Service Desk. As a consultant, Cor has assisted many large enterprises over the years with their global ITSM deployments. These include Procter & Gamble, Philip Morris and Roche.

His work had a major impact on the service management industry when in 1999 he developed the first comprehensive set of integrated ITIL-based ITSM processes. The model includes detailed work instructions for IT professionals. This set of process definitions and implementation practices was used by ITSM consultants in more than 20 countries when it was acquired in 2007 by BMC Software.

Cor’s main interests are the financial aspects of service management and helping managers optimize service levels while continuously driving down service costs.

USM of Universeel Service Management, zegt u dit iets?

Wij kunnen onze Nederlandstalige itSMF België leden uitnodigen op dit online-congres.

Er wordt meer achtergrond gegeven over een handige structuur achter processen en value streams. Deze methode heet Universeel Service Management, kortweg USM.

Meer kennis over USM vereenvoudigt het werk van de informatie manager. Maar belangrijkste: de mensen in uw organisatie krijgen meer grip op de dienstverlening, omdat de betrokken personen bijvoorbeeld duidelijker voor ogen krijgen wat precies is afgesproken. Ook leert de organisatie dat veel werkzaamheden eenvoudig te herleiden tot 8 soorten werkstromen.

Het zal een unieke ervaring worden gezien het online-congres doorgaat in een 3D-omgeving.  Het donderdag luik vindt plaats voorafgaand aan onze itSMF Belgium online sessie over Complexity Thinking.
