We have spent the last three decades helping ITSM professionals both to be better and to do better. The founding member of an international network of chapters, itSMF UK has followed a path of enriching the working lives of its members, encouraging personal development through events, training and guidance, and through recognition in our annual awards.
itSMF UK has also changed with the times, reflecting both the desire for greater professionalism in the ITSM community and the demand for ITSM thinking, principles and best practice outside the IT world, across business disciplines such as human resources and facilities. We understand that service management is not just an IT capability, it’s an organisational responsibility and commitment.
Our members range from large multinational companies to small firms working across the commercial, public, and not-for-profit sectors (you can see a sample of our member organisations here). As the de facto industry forum for service management, we embrace a wide cross-section of organisations, including:
Altogether, we have over 150 member organisations covering 4,000+ individuals.
Membership is a great way to provide your team with the practical skills and knowledge to succeed. For less than the cost of ONE ITIL exam, itSMF UK membership provides 12 months’ access to a wide range of education, content, and networking opportunities.
Ultimately, our message to any current or prospective member is that you get out what you put in. We have some great on-demand and published content that you can review at your leisure, but the real value in a membership forum like itSMF UK is the chance to learn, share and develop ideas with other members and guest presenters by attending the various events we offer.
The membership size is for you to decide and depends on how many of the team will benefit from our services. Membership is not related to the size of the organisation. Places are allocated to “named individuals” who create their own member profiles to access the Member Area and register for events.
Our current annual membership options are as follows:
All prices exclude VAT at 20%.
