How I can help

 

The frameworks keep multiplying, but underneath them sits the same proven set of principles. My work is helping organizations apply those principles in the language they already use, whether that is ITIL, DevOps, Lean, Agile, Scrum, Kanban, or SAFe, and drawing on the strengths of each rather than pledging loyalty to one. That takes a few different shapes.

Training. Accredited certification courses and tailored programs, in Swedish and English, from a half day to several weeks, built around what your people actually need. Read more about training

Consulting. Practical help improving how your organization creates and delivers its digital products and services, grounded in the frameworks but shaped to how you work. Read more about consulting

Mentoring. One-to-one support for practitioners and leaders putting service management ideas into practice. Read more about mentoring

Advisory. A steady, experienced voice on service management strategy, at the level where direction is set. I take on a small number of advisory relationships, from board input to periodic sounding-board sessions with leadership. Read more about advisory

Speaking. Talks and workshops on service management, its history, and where it is heading, drawing on the same comparisons across frameworks that run through my writing. For conferences and in-house audiences. For an example in Swedish from one of BiTA's "Kunskapsfrukostar" (Knowledge Breakfasts, a series of online presentations on topics of interest within ITSM), see this YouTube video. To discuss an event, get in touch. Read more about speaking

If you are not sure which of these fits, tell me what you are trying to solve and we will work it out together.

How to engage

Two channels

I am employed by BiTA Service Management AB. Which channel you use depends on where your organization is based and whether you already work with BiTA.

BiTA Service Management AB

Organizations in Sweden, and BiTA clients abroad

Clients in Sweden, and clients abroad who already work with BiTA, work with me through BiTA, where I have taught since 2016 and been an employee since 2019. BiTA has been an accredited ITIL training organization since 2004, so its course materials and administration meet PeopleCert's standards. It also runs training in DevOps, support and customer service, and in-house programs, so you get the backing of a full training and consulting operation alongside the teaching itself.

Amsonia AB

Other organizations outside Sweden

Organizations outside Sweden that come to me directly work with me through Amsonia AB, mainly for online mentoring and conference speaking, as well as advanced ITIL courses for teams. See Working internationally for how that works. Amsonia AB also handles the certification courses I teach for other accredited training organizations, including Cornerstone, Learning Tree, and Peopleteam.

The accreditations are the same whichever channel you use. I am accredited through PeopleCert, DevOps Institute, DASA, HDI, and HIT Global, and I teach across the full ITIL 4 and ITIL (Version 5) suite, DevOps, and related frameworks, in English and Swedish.
