		<description><![CDATA[Guide to the Universal Service Management Body of Knowledge(USMBOK)
Check it out here!
&quot;I  am a long-time advocate of the principles behind ITIL, but USMBOK is far  superior (and actually more concise) in how it explains these  principles and connects them for better outside-in thinking. USMBOK is a  better ITIL than ITIL in many ways!
For  anyone in IT or elsewhere who wants to build a culture of solid  outside-in service management, I highly recommend Clayton's USMBOK book!  If you follow his guidance, you WILL deliver results that help your  customers! For that matter, you will actually understand that you DO  have customers and you will actually understand their needs! BUY THIS  BOOK!&quot;
Glen O'Donnell, Senior Analyst, Forrester Research
&ldquo;The USMBOK is an amazing achievement. Codifying what is in your head 			may sound like a good idea but try doing it; the size of the challenge 			for service management is immense. For Ian to have been able to take 			the time to do this is one achievement, but to make it coherent is 			another entirely!&nbsp; Ian has codified and documented a coherent body of 			knowledge for service management that is practical, clear, and that 			provides a genuine &lsquo;how to&rsquo; starting point for the general, and IT 			service management professional.&nbsp; If I had a hat, I would take it off 			to him&rdquo;. Brian Johnson, Vice President, CA Inc and ITIL Author &amp; 			Pioneer.&nbsp; 			]]></description>
