ITSM Weekly the Podcast (Week20) - Guest Speaker: David Ratcliffe from Pink Elephant

Pink Elephant... Yup, that's there name.

I have known Pink Elephant for about 6 years. I was trained by Pink in ITIL V2, V3 and took their IT Executive training from one of their Sr. consultants ITIL V3 Author Gary Case. I have since become great friends with many folks within the Pink organization.

I've met David Ratcliffe President of Pink Elephant in the past, as Vigilant was a frequent sponsor of the Pink Elephant IT Service Management conference, however it was only this past February that I got a chance to get to know David well, mostly from our interactions on Twitter. David is a great example of one who embraces new technologies. When he first posted that he was going to use twitter to keep Pink Elephant Conference attendees up to date and allow questions from audiences, I was the first to share with him the horror stories. However, he pulled it off with great success and really made it a great event. Making me eat Crow, but with some salt it was fine.

Enjoy the great insights, stories and history of the organization that brought ITIL to the U.S.
