Invest in Your Career: Service Management Training for 2025 and Beyond

The Future is Bright ☀️ Be Ready to Shine!

As we move into 2025, the demand for skilled IT professionals continues to soar. Certification training in ITIL, DevOps, Agile, and Employee Experience isn’t just a smart move—it’s an essential investment in your future.

Here’s why:

DevOps:

The global DevOps market is expected to grow at an impressive 22.34% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reaching $44.06 billion by 2030. With companies prioritizing operational efficiency, cloud computing, and continuous delivery, the need for DevOps expertise is skyrocketing. Certification helps you master the tools and practices that drive faster releases, improved collaboration, and seamless automation.

Agile:

By 2033, the Agile market is forecasted to hit $179.9 billion, as organizations across industries adopt Agile frameworks to stay competitive. Agile training equips you with the mindset and techniques to lead adaptive teams, manage evolving priorities, and deliver customer value faster. Stand out as an Agile leader ready to tackle any challenge in today’s dynamic business environment.

Employee Experience Management:

The Employee Experience Management (EXM) market is experiencing notable growth, with various reports indicating a CAGR ranging between 6.5% and 11.2% over the next several years. On the high end is KBV Research. They anticipate the market to reach $14.3 billion by 2030, reflecting a CAGR of 11.2% during the forecast period. These projections underscore the increasing emphasis organizations place on enhancing employee engagement, satisfaction, and overall workplace experience.

Regarding Experience Level Agreements (XLAs), specific market growth metrics are less readily available, as XLAs represent an emerging paradigm within the broader EXM landscape. XLAs focus on measuring and ensuring the quality of user experiences, shifting the emphasis from traditional service level metrics to user-centric outcomes. As organizations continue to prioritize employee experience, the adoption of XLAs is expected to grow, contributing to the overall expansion of the EXM market.

ITSM/ITIL:

The IT Service Management (ITSM) market is still experiencing robust growth, with various forecasts indicating a CAGR ranging between 12.4% and 15.1% over the next several years. For instance, Fortune Business Insights projects the global ITSM market to expand from $11.91 billion in 2024 to $36.78 billion by 2032, reflecting a CAGR of 15.1% during this period.

As digital transformation accelerates, businesses are aligning their IT services with strategic goals more than ever. The ITIL framework continues to evolve, and certified professionals are in high demand to ensure efficient service delivery, continuous improvement, and seamless IT operations.

Four Service Characteristics

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.

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.

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. ...

What is the difference between Process Owner, Process Manager and Process Practitioner?

This article was originally published in 2015. With the Introduction of ITIL 4, some of this best practice has changed. See ITIL 4 and the Evolving Role of Roles . Updated Definitions in ITIL 4: Process Owner: In ITIL 4, the concept of 'processes' has expanded into broader 'practices.' Consequently, the Process Owner is now often referred to as the 'Practice Owner.' This individual is accountable for the overall design, performance, integration, and improvement of a specific practice within the organization. They ensure that the practice achieves its intended outcomes and aligns with the organization's objectives. Process Manager: Now commonly known as the 'Practice Manager' in ITIL 4, this role is responsible for the day-to-day management of the practice. The Practice Manager ensures that activities are carried out as intended, manages resources assigned to the practice, and oversees the practitioners performing the work. Process Practit...
