Who watches the watchmen?
The AXELOS Best Practice Podcast
10/06/21 • 57 min
In this episode, AXELOS' Akshay Anand is reinterpreting the Latin watchmen quote “Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?” and asks, who manages the managers? In modern business this is the field of governance, which to many practitioners is a necessary organizational component, while to others is the cause of numerous and often infuriating blockers. Akshay explores these contradictions and attempts to reconcile them with the help of Mark Thomas (President, Escoute Consulting) and Shane Carlson (Director of Enterprise Architecture, ServiceNow).

Knowledge Management
The AXELOS Best Practice Podcast
09/21/21 • 73 min
Knowledge Management” (KM) that most knowledge workers experience is often limited to a knowledge base tool (sometimes combined with a self-service portal). Or it might be an ancient repository of documents on a SharePoint site. To figure out how to improve this situation, we need to go back to basics, and answer the question “what IS KM, and why is it important?”
In this episode, Akshay is joined by Aprill Allen (Independent Consultant and Angel Investor, Twitter @knowledgebird), Jon Stevens-Hall (Principal Product Manager, BMC Software, Twitter @JonStevensHall) and Dave Snowden (Founder & Chief Scientific Officer, Cognitive Edge, Twitter @snowded). Together, they explore the challenges and benefits of investing in KM, why old models and approaches are no longer fit for purpose, and unlearning.
This episode also features a shoutout to Suresh GP (Managing Director, Taub Solutions, Twitter @sureshgp). Suresh is a very active member of the ITSM community in India and SE Asia. He also serves as a regional leader for the BRM institute, and as an Ambassador for the DevOps Institute.

Q&A Daisy Chain
The AXELOS Best Practice Podcast
08/03/21 • 76 min
We're trying an interesting approach with this podcast. We solicited a question from the ITSM community on LinkedIn, and then approached an SME to answer it, and then to ask their own question. We've ended up building an episode around this ""daisy chain"", and we'd love to know what you think!
We start with a question sent in by Mitch Pautz (Senior ITSM Analyst, University of Southern California), which Akshay uses to kick off the episode with Rob Akershoek (Chair of The Open Group IT4IT Forum). Rob then asked a question about value streams which was addressed by Daniel Breston (Independent ITSM consultant and coach) & Michelle Major-Goldsmith (Manager, Kinetic IT). Finally, Dan asked a question about talent management, which Akshay brought back to base to have a chat with AXELOS CEO Mark Basham and CCO Catherine Newman.
This episode's shout-out is to Orian Mendes, a Business Development Manager at TSO, the official publisher of ITIL guidance.
