Services are the main way that organizations create value for themselves and their customers. Almost all services today are IT-enabled, which means there is tremendous benefit for organizations in creating, expanding and improving their IT service management (ITSM) capability.

There are many service management frameworks available, some more successful than others. Of the dozens of service management frameworks found in the wild, the most adopted is ITIL. ITIL provides organizations with a comprehensive framework for ITSM. ITIL 4 brings ITIL up to date by re-shaping much of the established ITSM practices in the wider context of customer experience, value streams, and digital transformation, as well as embracing new ways of working, such as Lean, Agile, and DevOps.

This 90-minute workshop briefly introduces ITSM and ITIL 4 and its role in the delivery of modern IT services. Key concepts are covered at a high-level along with practical tips for transitioning to ITIL 4.
