new and exciting ones on the way. Try not to work yourselves too hard for

define more important responsibilities”. Page 8 gives you the lowdown on
what exactly the Bring your own device movement is. Or check out page

“If your ship doesn’t come in, swim out to meet it!”

f you’re an IT manager, you already know how
important it is to have an IT team that fully
understands what needs to be done, and in particular
what each member needs to primarily focus on. If you
are not involved in IT management, (and keeping in
line with the former statement) it’s extremely likely
that you will be designated specific tasks, or roles
which you must fulfill (which will hopefully synch-up
in tandem with the other members of your team).
This is simply the best way of conducting operations,
regardless of whether or not ITIL is factored into the
equation. However, it should be noted, that if utilized
properly, ITIL can be used to “super-charge” any IT
department, and of course, define ever-increasingly
detailed and important responsibilities as well.

define more important
