IT's easy as A-B-C!

At the last event of 2010, the itSMF Minnesota LIG offers an opportunity for you to learn about the ABCs of improving IT. This workshop format has been extremely well received at itSMF LIGs across the US and it's last tour date in 2010 is right here in Minnesota. This workshop promises to equip you to:
o Make change happen in your organization
o Inspire and stimulate desirable behavior
o Create shared goals focused on the customer
o Measure and demonstrate success
o Break down Attitude, Behavior and Cultural barriers

The workshop will be followed by a fun scavenger hunt activity, where you'll find being an itSMF member can make IT easy as ABC! There will also be prize drawings at the conclusion of the scavenger hunt.

As a thank you to our members and participants, the itSMF Minnesota LIG is sponsoring lunch. Grab a friend and join us for actionable takeaways, networking, and fun.
