Industry Group Meetings

The Service Futures Group consists of a number of key players from the Service Management industry including vendors, practitioners and consultants.

The group meet quarterly to discuss and review pre-defined topics and research across all aspects of service delivery including strategy, business alignment, operations, processes, methodologies, tools, management, personal development and projects.

The results of these discussions form the basis of the quarterly reports, available to participants and subscribers.

The purpose of the Service Futures Group Control Group is to provide a consistent source of ongoing data for research and analysis on ITSM implementation which will allow Service Futures Group researchers to track developments and benefits over time from a regular and reliable source.

Full Reports

The Service Futures Group produces and publishes quarterly reports to provide a variety of information, opinion, points of reference and statistics on the ITSM industry.  Content for the reports is discussed and agreed by the group before publication, thereby ensuring that no one organisation or interest group can lead or dominate the direction and output from the group.  We have three main sources of input:

  • Existing research and information pooled and reviewed from the public domain
  • Specially commissioned Service Futures Group research from external bodies
  • Focus/Control groups
  • Specific knowledge, skills and information brought to the group by members and their participating organisations

Summary Reports

We also produce summary versions of the full reports which are available to the public free of charge.
