ITIL is not an excuse to stop thinking!

Some things I keep reminding myself and some of the people I am trying to advise!!

- A process is not an excuse for thinking!

- A tool is not a rule!

If IT was the car industry

Henry Ford has yet to come along..

The next revolution has yet to appear.. We need a tipping point..

Industry do not evolve, they have step wise development... Where is the industrial revolution?

If you can predict that, you are rich man..

I am in RIO today and it could be the caipirinia talking..

Certification is not accreditation

Certification is not accreditation.

ICCP appears to have no peer referees, no review of the level of employment, and no ongoing accreditation.

take a look at CITP and compare. The NZ ITCP is even more stringent.

ICCP

There has long been an organization for certification of computing professionals - the ICCP:

ITIL and the other process standards are, of course, just a part of the professionalism needed in IT.

Business Case

So tech will get the same business case as a company jet, a new campus design or whatever. You may think the cowboy is on the way out, but he is usually best in creative business caseing. Implemented by project? TO me that is not future, I am looking towards implemented as a standard process. New tech should not be so hard to implement anymore in 2011 and beyond.

2011 and beyond

Yeah i found 2011 a bit cramped - its really 2011 and beyond.

if it was gartnerish it would be "rise in professionalism. 70% probability "

You are so right about hype and lip service but over that 20 year timeframe I think we have seen change - a very slow maturing as a profession

Someone has to comment

Swami sounds a bit gartner'ish.. Nothing that could be measured as right or wrong..

My $0.02 is 2011, same stuff different year. 2 years is nothing in the cycle of IT and certainly nothing in the cycle of enterprise maturity. Its been 20 odd years for me in IT and so little has really changed of significance. More hype, media and lip service than actual progression.
