SDI Shine - the virtual IT service conference

Welcome to the global service improvement event with zero travel or ticket costs.

What I love about SDI Shine is that wherever you are in the world you can view all, a few, or just one session completely free of charge. It doesn't matter if something comes up which means you can’t join live either – they're all recorded so you can watch them at a time that's better for you.

02.05.16

Updated format for 2016 - Shine now includes real life case studies.

This year we'll be bringing you keynote speakers on a broad range of ITSM topics, each followed
by service desk case studies so you can learn from the experience of your IT service peers.

Plus this year we've made registering even easier, with just one quick form to access all 16 sessions.

We hope you'll join us!

Shine16 took place on 29 September 2016.

Building a winning team Korrine Jones, OD Consulting Practical and effective strategies to build brilliant teams that deliver outstanding service. Korrine is kicking off Shine16 from Brisbane Australia, where it will be 11am local time.	Enabling Process Improvement - It's the little things that count Lana Yakimoff, Service Management Consulting Services Pty Ltd Process improvements should be straightforward activity. However, it is not always the case. It quite often stops before it starts due to lack of time, funding and conflict of BAU vs. improvement capability. But in this world of ever-growing focus on customer experience, if you're not improving you are lagging behind. Join me in discussing how to enable process improvement so that Operations can provide the best customer experience and service. It’s the little things that count.	Tear up your support SLAs - your customers don't care Dave O'Reardon, CIO Pulse/ SilverSix In the world of IT support there is only one true measure of service quality, and that is customer satisfaction. In this presentation, Dave will share some scary statistics, explain why you should tear up your support SLAs, and show you what you should be doing instead.
6am BST	7am BST	8am BST
Picking your metrics Gerry Veugelaers, New Zealand Defence Force. Service desks are often slaves to numbers but what do they really tell you? This session will introduce the metrics I consider worth tracking and how they can help to build a better performing service desk while delivering good customer service.	The real value of reporting Paul Coxhead, Camelot Lotteries UK As part of a company-wide ‘simplification’ project we on the service desk have been looking at the value our reporting generates. We’ve worked on identifying what we really need to report on, whilst dedicating more time to analysis of our reporting and in turn feeding this into our Service Improvement Plans to help us make informed decisions. My presentation will bring to life our journey to date, from recognising that we needed to look at, what we did to make change happen, and the benefits of taking these steps.	Choose your own improvement battles Mark Smalley, The IT Paradigmologist at the ASL BiSL Foundation How do you select feasible improvements that actually matter to you and your customers?

9am BST	10am BST	11am BST
Review, Refresh and Improve Alan Munday, Admit Consultancy Based on his experiences of implementing and improving Service Management capabilities within a number of industry sectors, Alan shares a host of lessons learnt and key messages on how to build effective and efficient service desks. The particular focus is on reviewing, refreshing and improving service desks so that they continually evolve into a key part of your organisation.	Improving customer service by empowered process improvement Gordon Roberts, University of Bath	Selling the service desk to the business Rui Soares IT struggles to demonstrate value as it becomes stealth under all the ever- changing and faster activities it enables. The focus is on how to sell service desk as pivotal within the business, be it to other internal areas, external customers or both. And even to IT itself.

12 noon BST	1pm BST	2pm BST
Changing the way we work Adam Haylock, Aylesbury Vale District Council Aylesbury Vale District Council is changing in a big way as we embark on our commercial programme to ensure our future by becoming self-sufficient.

Implementing Enterprise Service Management André Roshan and Bjørn Gjersvik, University of Agder	Service Desk: The heart of DevOps Daniel Breston, Business Transitionologist, Ranger4 Ltd DevOps is the collaborative movement of professionals seeking to use technology (people, processes and the fun stuff) to help organisations create ways of going from idea to live for their customer value. In which case collaborating, understanding, trying things out quickly and getting feedback is our mainstay.

3pm BST	4pm BST	5pm BST

Case Study: Service desk as a partner to the business Peter Lonsdale & Heather Sawyer, McDonald's McDonald’s People Service Helpdesk was born from the amalgamation of many individual department helplines. Initial aspirations were about efficiency and consistency of service. The team has evolved over the years and now aims to be, and is seen by the business as a value adding partner. The journey of strategic alignment is ongoing but we have enjoyed a number of successes to date.	How Improving Change Management Can Improve your Business (and win friends!) Duncan Watkins, ITSM Director, Realising Value. Now that technology is at the heart of so many businesses, we have a once in a lifetime opportunity to be taken seriously and add real value.
