28 teams, with a maximum of 4 players per team, competed against other member organisations by playing the RUN-IT simulation from SXP Solutions. While it was a competition, the challenge cup was designed to be a learning opportunity, with input about ITSM practices and technology to ensure real value to those that participated. Along with their trophy, the winning team also received £1000 to donate to a charity of their choosing.
WINNER: Team Informa
The team decided to split the £1000 prize between three charities: The British Heart Foundation (in memory of John Chapman), Kent PACT and MSF Médecins Sans Frontières.
The Ashley Hanna Contributor of the Year Award is presented to an individual who has made a very significant contribution to the service management profession, either as an itSMF UK volunteer, as a highly dedicated team member within their own ITSM organisation, or in some other way within the community. The individual may be well known for their commitment and achievements, but equally we’d like to hear about any ‘unsung heroes’ who consistently go the extra mile. This award is named after a truly dedicated ITSM professional and itSMF UK volunteer – Ashley Hanna – who passed away in 2013.
