Hi folks,
We’ve got a new-week beginning question for you all.
If your answer isn’t any of the given below options, feel free to share them on the comments sections.
On the contrary, if you have been able to successfully implement ESM, share your journey with us. We’d love to hear.

This will be interesting to compare to the challenges data we have related to ITSM per se (from a new report with AXELOS).

The following text was shared in yesterday’s Community chat, it might be helpful here too:
We can start with the most common ITSM challenges as a base because they are still relevant here:
| Response | Percentage |
| Lack of buy-in from senior management | 16% |
| ITSM does not have enough influence | 13% |
| Inefficient work practices | 12% |
| Changing scope/expectations | 11% |
| Lacking the right people | 11% |
| Lack of collaboration across teams | 10% |
| Lack of skills and training | 8% |
| Poor communication | 7% |
| Unrealistic budgets/resources | 7% |
| Lack of effective tools | 4% |
| Over-ambitious timeframes | 2% |
Remembering that these differ across organizations and interestingly across geographic regions:
These are from a forthcoming AXELOS Benchmark Report.
Then there are specific ESM challenges to consider and address when needed. For example that we try to sell ITSM when business functions want digital enablement or efficiencies. Or who is going to pay for all this ESM improvement? Another big one that I’ve just written on is how we seem to be sharing suboptimal ITSM capabilities via ESM rather than taking the time to optimize them first :/
So much more that could be added here too.
