ITIL Is Dead. Long Live ITIL (Execution)
🚀 ITIL Is Dead. Long Live ITIL (Execution).
This is not a framework. It’s your leadership blueprint.
Let’s be honest—ITIL doesn’t have the best reputation.
It’s misused, box-ticked, and changed so many times that many CIOs have relegated it to the shelf of “well-meaning theory.” You’ve probably heard things like “ITIL slows us down,” or “It’s too rigid for today’s business,” or even “We do Agile now—we don’t need ITIL.”
But here’s the uncomfortable truth:
It’s not ITIL that failed. It’s how we’ve failed to execute it that has.
Done right, ITIL isn’t bureaucracy. It’s clarity. It’s decision-making discipline. It’s real-world execution power—especially when wielded by leaders who understand its value.
🎯 This Blog Series Is for the IT Leader Ready to Make ITIL Work
We’re not here to give you theory. We’re giving you firepower.
Over the next 8 weeks, this blog series will walk through 16 focused blogs, each one arming you with execution-ready insights. We’ll challenge the status quo. We’ll show you the good, the bad, and the brutally honest. And we’ll make ITIL real again.
Because the truth is, ITIL is your heartbeat —if you know how to use it.
