ITIL 4 has the potential to launch a massive shift in the evolution of IT service management. We're used to thinking in terms of a "service lifecycle", but ITIL v4 introduces a service value chain - where activities that create value can be started at any point, by anyone. Let our experts help you sort through the chaos of this intellectual shift. This webinar will give you the insights needed to move away from the linear lifecycle mentality to a more value-based approach within the ITIL 4 framework.
The ITIL v4 Foundation course aims to introduce participants to the management of modern ITenabled services, to provide them with an understanding of the common language and key concepts and to show them how they can improve their work and the work of their organization with ITIL 4 guidance.

The Business of IT: Understanding ITIL and How to Run IT as a BusinessNathaniel Palmer
If IT is to be successful at running as a business and demonstrating value, IT must move from a functional view, or in the case of the enlightened, a process view, to a services view. This is a transformational journey for most organizations, one that requires leadership, sponsorship, structure and discipline to achieve. But it is a journey worth the effort and ultimately necessary for survival. This session shows how this journey is built on the concepts of the current and evolving ITIL framework. Examined will be why an ITIL and services approach has been undertaken by some but completed by few. This session introduces the central concepts involved
in managing IT as a services business, and explains the impact running IT as a business on both the service consumers and creators. You will explore the need to successfully build upon your understanding of ITIL and the evolving ITIL environment. Emphasized will be practical experiences and lessons learned from both external and internal IT service providers.

Top 5 Essential Certifications for 2015 - SyzygalSyzygal
Today’s IT professional requires more than just technical skills, they require a solid foundation within a wide range of industry wide best practices. This short presentation introduces five of the hot frameworks that are currently being adopted in enterprise IT environments.
TOGAF, an Open Group Standard, is a proven enterprise architecture methodology and framework used by the world’s leading organisations to improve business efficiency. It is the most prominent and reliable enterprise architecture standard, ensuring consistent standards, methods, and communication among enterprise architecture professionals. Enterprise architecture professionals fluent in TOGAF standards enjoy greater industry credibility, job effectiveness, and career opportunities. TOGAF helps practitioners avoid being locked into proprietary methods, utilise resources more efficiently and effectively, and realise a greater return on investment.
This four day course is intended as an introduction to the TOGAF framework leading to an advanced understanding of the central concepts. TOGAF is the de-facto global standard for Enterprise Architecture. The Open Group Architecture Forum, comprised of more than 200 enterprises, develops and maintains the TOGAF standard and publishes successive versions at regular intervals. It contains substantial guidance on what to do to establish an architecture practice and then how to use it in connection with planning the longer-term transformation of the enterprise (strategic architecture), and designing capabilities to support it.
The course looks beyond the essentials, to give attendees a deeper understanding of the framework. It also spans the Key Learning Points required to take the TOGAF® Level 1 & 2 exams and helps candidates begin to develop practical skills through a series of realistic case studies. You will be taught by a certified TOGAF instructor, who has extensive experience as a practising architect and who will guide you in the real-world application of TOGAF. After our training course you will have the opportunity to sit an exam and achieve the internationally recognised TOGAF 9.1 certifications.
Syzygal is a globally Accredited Training Organisation and Accredited Courseware Provider for best practice education & certification programs. We are accredited by the following Examination Institutes: APMG, EXIN, Loyalist and PEOPLECERT.
The PRINCE2 Practitioner course will build on the knowledge gained during the Foundation level. Following the course, candidates will be able to understand the relationships between processes, themes, principles and PRINCE2 products and can apply this understanding to a given project scenario. Successful completion of the Practitioner examination will give the delegate a recognised Practitioner qualification; understood and identified in industry as a mark of quality for Project Managers.
This five day certification course follows PRINCE2 Foundation and provides guidance for those seeking to become effective IT project contributors and for those who wish to obtain the PRINCE2 Practitioner certification. While the Foundation course provides theory, the Practitioner course teaches you how to practically apply the PRINCE2 concepts within a project environment.
PRINCE2 (PRojects IN Controlled Environments) is a process based, scalable approach for effective IT project management. With a direct relationship to the ITIL, the framework is public domain and offers non-proprietary guidance on project management.
PRINCE2′s teachings and certifications provide you with the knowledge needed to contribute successfully to your organisation’s IT projects. Overall, the guidance will give you and your team common IT project processes, systems, procedures and language. You benefit from stronger communication channels between the project team, project management and the rest of the organisation, while avoiding errors, saving time and money and, most important, delivering successful project outcomes!
PRINCE2 is widely used across the world and is complimentary to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) championed by the Project Management Institute (PMI®).
Syzygal is a globally Accredited Training Organisation and Accredited Courseware Provider for the PRINCE2 education & certification program. We are accredited by the following Examination Institutes: APMG, EXIN, Loyalist and PEOPLECERT.
M_o_R is intended to help organisations put in place an effective framework for risk management. This will help them make informed decisions about the risks that affect their strategic, programme, project and operational objectives. The guide provides a route map for risk management, bringing together basic concepts, an approach, a process with a set of interrelated process steps, and pointers to more detailed sources of advice on risk management techniques and specialisms. It also provides advice on how the principles, approach and processes should be embedded, reviewed and applied differently depending on the nature of the objectives at risk.
This three day Management of Risk (M_o_R) course is designed to illustrate this best practice framework and give candidates an understanding of risk as it should be managed across an organisation. Within project and programme environments there will always be risk which needs to be identified, analysed and managed. Other areas of an organisation will also be exposed to risks as operational functions are carried out. M_o_R provides guidance on how best to deal with all these areas.
The Guide has been written by leading industry experts and is part of the ‘Swirl’ set of best practices managed by AXELOS, which includes ITIL, PRINCE2 & MSP methodologies. This training event is designed to prepare candidates to manage risks in a controlled and structured way by examining the M_o_R guide. Examinations are available during the event for candidates to achieve the Foundation level certification.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

ITIL (IT INFRASTRUCTURE LIBRARY) is a best prac-
tice framework for IT Service Management. It is
owned and operated by the UK Government and was first
published in the mid-1980’s. Various updates occurred
throughout the 1990’s but the framework remained largely
within the public sector.
In 2000 an updated version was published (v2) and was
quickly recognised as relevant for ICT departments in all
industry sectors. ITIL gained in popularity on a global
scale and in 2007 a new version, recognising the lifecycle
of IT services, was published as v3. This also saw a move
towards content development and management by an
independent group of technology practitioners, repre-
sented globally and from diverse industry sectors; this
groups is the IT Service Management Forum (itSMF). The
current version of ITIL was released in 2011 and along with
minor amendments and updates the naming convention
changed to ITIL: 2011.
ITIL REPRESENTS NEARLY 3 DECADES OF COLLECTIVE
GLOBAL EXPERIENCE, KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE; AS
SUCH IT IS NOW RECOGNISED AS THE WORLD-WIDE DE-
FACTO STANDARD FOR IT SERVICE MANAGEMENT.
The ITIL: 2011 Service Lifecycle is often shown in a cyclical
diagram with five distinct phases that represent the stages
in the lifecycle.
• SERVICE STRATEGY focuses on the thinking processes
and can be seen as the‘Why?’of the lifecycle. Why is
this IT organisation here? Why should these custom-
ers/users buy our services? Why do our services meet
their needs?
• SERVICE DESIGN focuses on the holistic design of
services and performance, often seen as the‘How?’
of the lifecycle. How should we design our services?
How will it fit into our existing architectures? How will
we resource the build, deployment and management?
How will it meet our customer’s needs?
• SERVICE TRANSITION focuses on the stability of the
live environments and can be seen as the‘When?’and
‘Who?’of the lifecycle. When should we transition into
live? Who will be involved in the deployment? Who
will be affected by the new/amended service?
• SERVICE OPERATION focuses on day-to-day delivery of
IT Services; it can be seen as the engine room of IT and
very much the‘What?’of the service lifecycle. What
performance levels do we need to deliver? What activi-
ties need to be done to keep services live and healthy?
What if something goes wrong or a user needs help?
• CONTINUAL SERVICE IMPROVEMENT focuses on all
activities in the lifecycle to ensure we have a continual
review and improvement culture. It can be seen as the
‘Where?’of the service lifecycle. Where do we see life-
cycle difficulties? Where are we against our strategy?
Where can we make improvements?
Each phase contains a set of closely related processes that
unify and enhance phase activity to support the required
organisational outcomes.
ITIL describes processes, procedures, tasks, and checklists
which are not organisation-specific, but can be applied
by an organisation for establishing integration with the
organisation’s strategy, delivering value, and maintaining
a minimum level of competency. It allows the organisation
to establish a baseline from which it can plan, implement,
and measure. It is used to demonstrate compliance and to
measure on-going improvement for organisations of all
sizes and types.

WhatarethebenefitsofITIL®?
TheITInfrastructureLibrary®
Many organisations question how ITIL can practically help
to improve efficiency and deliver real value. The following
are some real life examples of ITIL benefits:
•• One organisation identified that most of the cost of
delivering IT support came from resolving customer
issues. By adopting ITIL approaches to knowledge-
based information and self-help, it was able to reduce
costs of support by over 75% whilst increasing user
satisfaction, and improving user productivity.
•• Another medium-sized IT service organisation in-
vested €2.6m in a two-year programme to improve its
IT service management. It recouped the investment
within the first year, and achieved annual savings of
€3.5m mainly through rationalising unused and under-
used resources. It also reduced IT incident resolution
times and improved user satisfaction by over 11%.
From a business perspective, the adoption of ITIL practices
by IT service providers ensures many benefits including:
•• IT services which align better with business priorities
and objectives, meaning that the business achieves
more in terms of its strategic objectives
•• Known and manageable IT costs, ensuring the busi-
ness plans its finances better
•• Increased business productivity, efficiency and ef-
fectiveness, because IT services are more reliable and
work better for the business users
•• Financial savings from improved resource manage-
ment and reduced re-work
•• More effective change management, enabling the
business to keep pace with change and drive business
change to its advantage
•• Improved user and customer satisfaction with IT

What if something goes wrong or a user needs help?
• CONTINUAL SERVICE IMPROVEMENT focuses on all
activities in the lifecycle to ensure we have a continual
review and improvement culture. It can be seen as the
‘Where?’of the service lifecycle. Where do we see life-
cycle difficulties? Where are we against our strategy?
Where can we make improvements?
Viewing IT service in a lifecycle allows a more holistic and
joined-up view of how IT Service Providers deliver value to
their organisation and help them achieve their objectives.

TACT is Syzygal’s pro-
prietary methodology
for developing courses
and courseware
As part of doctoral research,
Syzygal have developed a unique
approach to developing and
designing professional education
courses and courseware. Rather
than utilising tired and over-used
methods such as working straight
from a syllabus, Syzygal decided to
research the key elements of effec-
tive learning. What we found was
that although dynamic and flexible
delivery methods were essential to
the overall experience for students,
it was the approach to content
formulation and positioning that
was critical to maximising learning
up-take and knowledge retention.
The THEORY of a subject is obvi-
ously critical to success, but ensur-
ing it is positioned in contextual
alignment is the pay-off. We then
ensure students ABSORB the the-
ory by placing them in real-world
scenarios and role-plays, ensuring
the theory connects to practical
application. To support this we
CONSOLIDATE the learning by us-
ing innovative games and exercises
to further develop understanding
and retention. Finally we ensure
TESTING takes place throughout
training events which prepares
the student to take their formal
certification.

The foundation of the Syzygal
business model is the spe-
cialisation in the areas of IT Service
Management, IT Security Manage-
ment, Project Management and
Enterprise Governance. Our focus is
on supporting and communicating
world-renowned, industry recognised
frameworks and standards. In doing
so we help our clients develop world-
class, business centric IT Services
and business change environments.
Placed world-wide, we provide in-
novative solutions helping your busi-
ness deliver tangible and measurable
improvements through direct con-
sultancy or training and education
products. Syzygal’s primary business
objectives and goals are to:
•• Educate professionals in leading
industry best practices
•• Help our clients develop real
knowledge and understanding
in core business practices
•• Support the practical implemen-
tation of that knowledge
•• Ultimately help our clients im-
prove their business practices
Our approach is to accept and deliver
only the highest quality in informa-
tion content, materials and delivery
of our courses. We believe that learn-
ing is better achieved by participa-
tion from the student rather than
instruction by the lecturer. Taking
this approach leads to a better overall
experience for the training candi-
dates and achieves a longer lasting
knowledge transfer from the course.
We employ only the best training
resources and ensure they have ap-
plicable, real life experience in their
specialist areas and industry standard
frameworks and methodologies.
