Online Event – AI in ITSM: Ready or not, it’s here – Lunch & Learn

AI is already beginning to reshape how IT service teams operate; from automation and diagnostics to knowledge management, incident resolution, and customer experience. The real question for service organisations isn’t whether AI is coming, but whether we’re ready for it.
Having recently moved into a transformation role focused on implementing AIOps across a complex managed service environment, I’ve been seeing first-hand what organisations need in place to make AI work in practice, and where many of us still have gaps.
During this Lunch & Learn event, I’ll share practical insights on what readiness for AI in ITSM actually looks like: the foundations teams need, the mindset shifts required, and the steps individuals and service organisations can start taking now to position themselves for the future.
This isn’t a session about tools or hype, it’s about how we prepare our people, processes, and service culture so AI strengthens what we do rather than disrupts it.
