I wouldn't just knock Mckinsey even though they are the most expensive of the talking heads, most of what Gartner and Forrester write about service management is at the same level of pre-school psychology.<br /> "As ITIL gains strength, IT executives should review the opportunities to apply best practice to improve their service to the business.
