Mark does not deliver the kind of talks that leave audiences with a checklist and a warm feeling. He delivers the kind that make audiences question whether the checklist was ever the right thing to build. Practitioner perspective, drawn from inside the daily work of running services at scale.
Sixty-four per cent of UK organisations say they are using AI. Only twenty-four per cent have reached anything close to mature adoption. The gap is not a technology gap. It is an organisational design gap. Most operating models were never built to absorb intelligence — and no amount of platform spend will fix that.
Gucci is making smart glasses with Google. Meta is selling AI Ray-Bans for $499. Within eighteen months a meaningful chunk of the workforce will be wearing cameras, microphones and AI assistants on their faces.
ITSM has become brilliantly organised at describing yesterday. We mistake legibility to ourselves for value to our customers. Comfort bureaucracy for governance. Defensible work for distinctive work.
Take any service catalogue. Remove every acronym, every internal code, every framework reference. Show it to a customer. Ask them what they are buying. If they cannot tell you, you have not built a catalogue — you have built a glossary for insiders.
40 to 50 minutes, main stage. Designed to open or close a conference, challenge assumptions, and give the audience something to argue about over coffee.
30 minutes, adapted for smaller rooms and more focused audiences. Strong with leadership cohorts and senior practitioner groups.
Available for moderated panels and conversational fireside chats on AI, service management, leadership, design thinking and operational excellence.
Half-day or full-day sessions on design thinking in service management, service blueprinting, or leadership development.
UK-based. Available nationally and internationally. All talks customise to specific audiences, industries and themes.
Screen, clicker, lapel or headset mic preferred. No podium. Mark works from structured narrative and live interaction, not slide-by-slide lecture.
