Einar & Partners recently participated in Knowledge 2025, ServiceNow’s premier event held in Las Vegas, where discussions centered around AI, platform evolution, and operational strategy.

While AI was a prominent theme, the event underscored the rising significance of governance, architecture, and operational clarity in the successful adoption and scaling of AI within organisations.

Key takeaways from the event included:

• Engaging dialogues with ServiceNow experts on the future of platform governance.
• In-depth explorations into strategic portfolio management and enterprise architecture as catalysts for transformation.
• A noticeable market shift from focusing solely on operational tools to aligning IT operations with overarching business objectives.
• Case studies and real-world examples highlighting the impact of effective governance and architecture on service delivery.

The release of CSDM 5 was also a focal point, introducing new lifecycle domains that support value delivery from ideation to service consumption. This advancement is already influencing approaches to CMDBs, service design, and platform strategy.

Einar & Partners is committed to integrating these insights into our practices, emphasising that while AI is a transformative tool, it is the foundational elements of governance and architecture that will determine an organisation’s readiness to adopt and scale AI effectively.
