“It was one of the most insightful and energising events I’ve been to in a while. The agenda was packed with fantastic speakers covering everything from embedding CSI into everyday work, to AI in service management, to persona-based XLAs, leadership journeys, and even how neurodivergent thinking can supercharge improvement.”
Toni C., IT Services Manager, driving strategic IT service management solutions.
“If you work in Service Desk, ITSM or Operations, we’d highly recommend attending an SDI event in the future. The blend of practical insights, networking and inspiration makes it well worth the time.”
