ISACA and itSMF can do more together. There is a great deal of synergy between our organisations and very little overlap.

I recently attended ISACA's Pacific Region CACS conference. itSMF New Zealand has done a reciprocal deal with ISACA to have booths at each other's conference. This is a great idea. In some countries the local chapters of ISACA and itSMF cooperate in varying ways. There have been discussions at the international level. Now both organisations have a common Board member: Rob Stroud.

The linkage between COBIT and ITIL is strong. We can work together to share knowledge and experience, and to present a united message to the IT community about good practice in governance and service.

If it isn't happening in your area, get it together. How about a joint Christmas function to kick things off?

Perhaps if we start dating it might lead to somethign more serious. Being a member of both organisations I can tell you that they can learn from each other. ISACA can teach

  • centralised international administration of membership, IP, certification etc by volunteers without privatisation
  • development of free, open source bodies of knowledge
  • professional registration, certification, and ongoing professional development
  • support of new chapters and new members
  • regional cooperation
  • member-oriented service

and of course itSMF can teach.... um....

I expected you to know at least something the itSMF can teach.

How about getting publicity?
