Joel Pomales is an ITSM senior consultant and Service Management Lead. He has more than 10 years of experience in the field. He is passionate about his work, the ITSM industry and the inspiring conversations that occur in the community.
Joel believes that, at its core, ITSM is about continually changing and improving behavior and attitudes to achieve a common business goal. While there are many process frameworks, standards and tools out there to accomplish that, he says it's people who ultimately enable change. That's a common thread that he has seen in his work, and he likes to speak about that subject and help people with it.
There's a place for everything, and Joel doesn't believe in one thing over something else. He believes in using what's best to enable business outcomes.
Joel has a lot of fun doing what he does, and he likes to share that with people.
