Hello,
If you're starting out with developing an IT Strategic Plan & are looking for simple guidance to get started, I would recommend the following to get things moving:

ITIL v3 adoption slow, but picking up...
Hello,
- ITIL v3 adoption it seems, isn't a top priority for IT shops in 2008; two-thirds of UK IT Managers aren't prepared for the challenge [1]
- According to the IDC, majority of companies aren't rushing to implement ITIL v3 [2]
ITIL v3 can definately give you the edge so it's worth getting acquainted with it, but for deep-diving with the implementation, it's worth seeing how people are faring with their implementations & then to benefit from their experiences.

IT Service Catalogue Guidelines...
Hello,
Back in 2005, I published simple yet effective guidelines for developing your own IT Service Catalogue from scratch. These were hosted for over a year on the EMA community portal (SLMINFO.com) before it's retirement.
Due to a great number of people requesting this, I've re-uploaded the document; you can get it from the following link; click here.
Please do send me your feedback (mailto:musabqureshi4@yahoo.co.uk) on this document & your experiences in developing service catalogues.
