It tells you what the ITIL industry won’t.  For everyone else involved in ITIL projects, this book is just as essential to help you through the ITIL minefield.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Basic Service Management</title>
 <link>http://www.itskeptic.org/basic-service-management</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.itskeptic.org/files/imagepicker/1/basic_service_mgmt.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Image&quot; style=&quot;float: right;padding:20px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Rob England&#039;s latest book is titled &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Basic Service Management&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not ITSM, just SM.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now in draft, and being reviewed by my accountant and my lawyer, amongst others.  We&#039;ll see if they find it useful.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Out before Christmas 2010!  &lt;/p&gt;
