Last year in May, where we could do what we liked and Covid19 was not even a word, the itSMF organized an event to review ITIL4 and how it positioned itself in the agile service management world. For those who joined, I said that all the information shared was based on the ITIL4 foundation input. Since then, a lot has happened. Also in the world of ITIL4. Axelos released 4 more specialist and strategist titles and 35 practice titles.
It gave the possibility to revisit the initial understanding, challenge it and extending it to the level I am at today. I also said that when time is right, I would share my insights.
So if you want that in depth review of how Axelos has reinvented ITIL and how for me, this evolution of ITIL is as disruptive as the market we are in today, mark in your agenda : 26th of November from 17:30 until 19:00
What can you expect from this indepth session on ITIL4? We will start off with a short recap of the foundation, so even people not really familiar with the basic ins and outs can follow the session.
After that introduction, the 4 core volumes added as part of the managing professional will be reviewed and connected to the ITIL4 operating model. We will investigate how each of the volumes adds tools and guidance, allowing a service driven organisation to become the best version of itself.
Personally it has been a discovery journey which took and still takes time to grasp the potential. I hope that by the end of the session, some of the insights might be of use in your own service management evolution journey.

Examples*
*The position of the code means its relative importance
17. PRIORITIZING Work : Tier challenges
•Multiple queues, creating accumulated work-in-progress
•Multiple queues may increase the time it takes to get to the right person
•Work may “bounce” with multiple reassignments
•The team escalating the work, by definition does not have the right skills
•So essential information may not have been collected, and issues may be escalated
to the wrong team
•Some teams and groups can be overwhelmed
•Key specialists can become a bottleneck in the value stream
Swarming
18. PRIORITIZING Work : Swarming
•Single collaborative team, rather than tiered escalation
•Dispatch swarm –meets frequently to review incoming work
•‘Cherry pick’ quick solutions
•Validate correct information has been collected
•Backlog swarm –convened flexibly or periodically to review backlog
•Drop-in swarm –experts are continually available to front line staff

23. Valuable investments : MVP & services
Create enough to provide value quick.
Create more is:
Introducing delay
Opportunity missed
Waste
24. Valuable investments : A/B Testing
Time-limited experiment in which the old version and new version co-exist in different
groups before deciding .
26. Resilient Operations : Definition of Done
A checklist of agreed criteria for a proposed product or service.
DONE = When clients have achieved the desired outcome from consuming the service

30. Key Concepts: Scope of Control
A person’s scope of control is the extent of the area(s) or
activities over which the person has authority to direct the
actions of others or define the required outcomes
We all have influence as well as control
• Scope of influence is wider than scope of control
• May need to find ways to influence things beyond our control
• Influence may be more effective and sustainable than simply commanding others
31. ORGANISATIONAL CHANGE MANAGEMENT
Purpose of organizational change management
• Win the hearts and minds of everyone involved in a change
• Reduce or remove resistance to change
• Ensure change is implemented and sustained successfully
• Transition people, teams, and organizations to a desired future state
Benefits of organizational change management
• Improvements are implemented smoothly with lasting benefit
• People understand the purpose of changes and how they will be affected
• People believe in the importance and the benefits of changes
It’s al about PEOPLE& effective communication
32. Do we understand?
DSV in the Service Value Chain
How to connect with
your consumers?
DID we understand?
Understand your
(potential) consumers
34. Key Concept: Customer Journey
A customer journey is the complete end-to-end experience customers have
with one or more service providers and/or their products through the
touchpoints and service interactions with those service providers
HOW you deliver a service is as important as WHAT you deliver
Understanding every touchpoint and interaction is NOT enough
• You must take the journey yourself and understand the overall experience
When you understand the customer journey you can
• Maximize stakeholder value through co-creation
• Focus on experience, not just on outcomes
35. Key Concept: Moment of truth
• Is a key interaction or touchpoint
• Where user forms/changes their impression
• Only some interactions are moments of truth
• Every interaction is a potential moment of truth
• For example a service request that generates an impression of good service
• Can be positive or negative
• Can be changed from negative to positive by service provider behaviour
