A commitment to version 3 of the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) is a commitment to continual improvement. This means you are taking a journey, not achieving a one-time goal. Once you understand that, you're ready to move on. These tips from ITIL expert Brian Johnson will help you get started on that journey with advice on change management, breaking culture barriers and ITIL governance.
