The IT Skeptic's poll on ISO20000 activity levels yielded some interesting results. Statistically invalid but interesting in a fun way.
Of course the results are invalid in that the sample is self-selecting (a) because they are IT Skeptic readers and (b) because they voted. But anyway here's the results: Right now my organisation's involvement with ISO/IEC 20000 is:
already certified
15%
actively working on certification
13%
assessing ourselves against it without formal certification
4%
using it for guidance
16%
banging on about it but done nothing
11%
currently no involvement
22%
it is irrelevant or not applicable
7%
what's ISO/IEC 20000?
13%
Total votes: 55
So as at today, over a quarter have or are working on formal certification. That is much higher than my experience out here on the edge of the world. And another fifth are using it. Near enough to half are involved. That is much higher than I expected.

ISO 20k is growing exponentially
Hi
The number of ISO20k certifications has been growing exponentially for the last couple of years. The growth was quite slow in the beginning but now the speed is picking up.
Here is a link to the graph. http://www.pohjoisviitta.fi/sivut/uutiset/10 The older numbers are from my memory so it might not be such a perfect fit but it should not be far from the truth
My prediction is that by end of 2008 there should be 400 certified companies and by end of 2009 it should reach 1000. Let's see what happens.
