Join us at our annual conference filled with the very latest developments and key topics influencing the service management future! ItSMF Finland is an independent and non-profit foundation with the aim to bring together people and organisations to share knowledge, experiences and research in the area of service management.
Conference is also suitable for english-speaking participants. There will be a full track of program in English.
Time to unleash the power of creativity and productivity!
Real success is the usable ability to act that comes from competences and agreed and understood ways of working! ItSMF Finland's 19th annual conference will focus on this theme with the theme Empower, sharing experiences and insights to enable better and more effective ways of delivering and consuming services.
Digital transformation and automation should lead to people and organisations being able to function better than before, thanks to designed and agreed services and ways of working. This requires not only the capabilities of individuals and organisations, but also fruitful collaboration between them. In Empower, we focus on how to build the capabilities of individuals and organisations, but above all how to empower each other through our interactions to work better for the benefit of all parties.
We have planned the following themes for the event:
- Empowering organisations: Enterprise service management - delivering services beyond IT
- Empowering people. How to motivate people of different age so that they, and therefore organisations, can reach their full potential. After all, the fact is that people do all the work in organisations. Even machines and artificial intelligence only do their part after human intervention and under human control. And they do it better and more sustainably when their wellbeing is ensured.
- Empowering partners and suppliers: we plan to have presentations on how to be an enlightened customer and how to build and manage your suppliers and your relationship with them without being a constraint to value creation.
- Empowering AI and automation: machine learning and AI were put into practice at the beginning of the year when everyone had the opportunity to get first-hand experience, for example through ChatGPT. Our aim is to get some contributions from the application experience and the ethical and practical challenges it brings and how to overcome them.
- Empowering assets: even after decades, organisations are still struggling to manage their assets. We also aim to bring practical examples from familiar topics such as software, infrastructure and cloud asset management.
- Empowering sustainability: Organisations have a lot of opportunities to influence the impact they have on the environment in which they operate. Also consumer and society make choices that enforce externally organizations to act in sustainable way. We are trying to bring presentations that would illustrate from experience the kinds of responsible choices that organisations and their people can make when providing and consuming services.
