The white smoke has gone up and the new Executive Board is appointed at itSMF International. The fascinating aspects are new blood and a true international flavour.

Check out the Board:
David Cannon (USA) Chairperson

    Works for HP. ITIL V3 author (twice). Long time member of itSMF USA.

Sallie Kennedy (USA)

Alejandro Debenedet (Argentina)

    Works for EXIN (not mentioned on his itSMF bio. I'd have thought it salient.) Based in Netherlands now?

Hon P Suen (Hong Kong)

    Works for Hong Kong Jockey Club (for those not in the know, that is a SERIOUSLY rich and powerful organisation in HK). Founder itSMF HK

Ulf Myrberg (Sweden)

Marianna Billington (New Zealand)

    Works for Fairfax Media.

Michael Kum (Malaysia)

    Works for MKC Solutions. Co-founder itSMF Malaysia.

Only two there who could be described as ITIL "establishment" and none who are long-term itSMF International.

Only one country with multiple members and it is not the UK. Not a single Pom amongst them. The IT Skeptic predicited a trans-Atlantic power shift years ago.

I also note the software vendors are moving on to greener pastures - also as predicted.

Interesting times.

Hmmmm...

Apart from possibly the NZ & HK people, are there any IT Service Managers with real-time and relevant experience on that Board? Seems to me that they are either consultants, trainers or vendors!
