In February, Axelos launched the Foundation publication for ITIL 4. The approach is significantly different than ITIL v3, with a more explicit focus on achieving value, an evolution of the guiding principles first demonstrated in ITIL Practitioner and a system rather than lifecycle approach (amongst other things). For our very first event of 2019 we have not one, not two but three speakers for you:
==================
Speakers: Akshay Anand, Stuart Rance & Nargis Mirza
==================
Akshay Anand will talk about the background and journey to create ITIL 4, the four dimensions of service management and the importance of value co-creation.
Stuart Rance covers three key areas of service value that are so important to ITL 4 – the service value system, the service value chain, and the service value streams; and
Nargis Mirza will discuss her journey from ITIL v3 to ITIL 4 at the Home Office. She will tell us about how they’ve used the guiding principles and mapped skills and capabilities across to the new best practice.
It promises to be a stimulating evening covering ITIL 4 from theory and practice. At the end of the presentations all 3 speakers will happily answer any questions you may have.
