Barclay and Ian are back with a preview of what's happening at SITS26 next week, and the pulse check they're putting out in the run-up.

The Enterprise Digital Podcast has its keynote on day two, and rather than walk on with a fixed view, Barclay and Ian are using the survey to shape what they cover. They run through the questions in this episode, from the practical (how would you describe your organisation's ITSM maturity, has AI made any difference to the service you deliver) to the hypothetical (a hundred thousand pounds to spend on one area of service delivery, technology, people, or training) to the unexpected (best sandwich).

There's no consulting stand this year. Instead, Barclay, Ian and Steve Cave will be at a dedicated interview area with a film crew, gathering views from visitors that will feed directly into the keynote. They'll also be on the SDI stand at points during the show. If you're attending, drop by.

Trivia this week is the UK government's £2 billion commitment to deploying quantum computers at scale by the early 2030s. Cynicism aside, a positive direction.
