Image
By
Create, Deliver and Support (CDS) is one of many content areas of focus within the ITIL 4 guidance. It is included in the ITIL 4 schema for ITIL Specialist certification and is one of the many modules contained in the Managing Professional Transition class. 
Create, Deliver, and Support (Training and Certification) is an advanced course that requires the ITIL 4 Foundation knowledge and certification. It takes a deeper dive into core areas of holistic thinking and application by understanding clearly; the Service Value System, Service Value Chain and the Anatomy of a Value Stream.

To create, deliver and support services, specialists need a broad set of competencies to meet the dynamic need and demand for digital services.

Proficiencies gained will help professionals optimize end to end value and must expand beyond tech to include such things as: 
  • Radical soft skills that take communication, leadership, and innovation to the next level
  • Ability to provide opportunities for continued professional development
  • Ability to develop recruiting and onboarding skills for cross-functional teams
  • Building job descriptions that include both technical and non-technical skills
  • Enable and encourage staff to investigate new ideas, ways of thinking and new ways of working
  • Recognize non-IT experience (e.g., team management, procurement) and provide efficient workforce planning
Practitioners must know how to ensure the integration of activities for business value streams and practices that support consumer needs for services. To do so, the service management professional must be proficient in their approach. More importantly, they must understand how to think holistically, work incrementally and to deliver value FAST!

Four Service Characteristics

By
Recently I came across several articles by researchers and experts that laid out definitions and characteristics of services. ITIL provides us with a definition that can help drive the creation of value-laden services: A means of delivering value to customers by facilitating outcomes customers want to achieve without the ownership of specific costs and risks. An area that ITIL is not so clear is in terms of service characteristics. Several researchers and experts put forth that services have four basic characteristics (IHIP): Intangibility—Services are the results of actions not things. They have no physical presence and represent a logical set of elements. One way to think of service is “work done for others.”  Heterogeneity—Also known as “variability”; services are unique items because of the mechanisms used to deliver services, which is people. Because the people element adds variability, the service is variable. This holds true, especially for the value proposition—not eve...

What Is A Service Offering?

By
The ITIL 4 Best Practice Guidance defines a “Service Offering” as a description of one or more services designed to address the needs of a target customer or group.   As a service provider, we can’t stop there!   We must know what the contracts of our service offering are and be able to put them into context as required by the customer.     Let’s explore the three elements that comprise a Service Offering. A “Service Offering” may include:     Goods, Access to Resources, and Service Actions 1. Goods – When we think of “Goods” within a service offering these are the items where ownership is transferred to the consumer and the consumer takes responsibility for the future use of these goods.   Example of goods that are being provided in the offering – If this is a hotel service then toiletries or chocolates are yours to take with you.   You the consumer own these and they are yours to take with you.      ...

The New Four Ps of Service Management

By
By Donna Knapp For years, people , process , and technology (PPT) was a widely recognized framework for balancing and integrating the components needed to achieve optimal performance and outcomes. In the ITIL v3 Service Design publication, this framework was expanded to the four Ps: people , processes , products , and partners . ITIL 4 has further expanded and evolved this framework to the four dimensions of service management. These four dimensions are collectively critical to the effective and efficient facilitation of value for customers and other stakeholders in the form of products and services. The four dimensions of service management are: Organizations and people Information and technology Partners and suppliers Value streams and processes. These four dimensions represent perspectives which are relevant to the whole service value system (SVS), including the entirety of the service value chain and all ITIL practices. Each ITIL practice is a set of organizational resources base...
