they can only
communicate in
techno babble.
probably the most important
management fundamental that
is being ignored today is staying
close to the customer to satisfy his
(or her) needs.
In too many companies
the customer has become a
bloody nuisance whose
unpredictable behavior damages
carefully made strategic
plans, whose activities mess
up computer operations, and who
stubbornly insists that purchased
products should work.
technoid:
spotty faced know it all IT technical person that communicates in grunts and
snorts (Not the IT Infrastructure library)

; thats what it says in the book..
ITIL is out of date, and just for
mainframes
ITIL never work
here
It is out of date
Thats not the way
it works in reality?
: failure to use ITIL as a reference
model of best practices.
ITIL is the way
weve always done
it, and ITSM how
we always will
: no understanding of purpose of
procedures
: too rigid and inflexible, no real
fit to organizational situation
