Welcome to The ITAM Kitchen —
...where we turn ITAM, SAM, CMDB, FinOps, and AI Governance into recipes you can actually use.
We're here to put the real back into disciplines that have been dumbed down by certifications and vendor noise.
In each episode, we grab one key topic and break it down like a recipe:
- The ingredients — people, data, tools, and processes
- The prep work — buy-in, stakeholder alignment, clear requirements
- Step-by-step instructions that turn theory into real organizational impact
- Governance for consistency, compliance, and lasting results
What they never taught you in certification class is how to apply it under pressure. That's what we cook up here.
Sessions run 30-60 minutes. You'll leave with ideas to use right away.
Hosted by Bill Talbot — IAITAM Fellow, CHPC, 30-year veteran, and founder of IT Management Co-Op (ITMC).
Hit subscribe, grab your apron, and let's start cooking.

On the show: The Test Kitchen prompt will lay out a clean maturity path — and it'll assume stakeholders will accept the sequence once they see it, when the real work is holding the line when they push for level 5.
Which maturity level is your program actually on, and have you ever said that number out loud to leadership? Tell us in the comments.
