Service Consumers Organizations to whom services are delivered are referred to as service consumers
7
Organization Organization “A person or a group of people that has its own functions with responsibilities authorities and relationship to achieve its objectives” (Adapted from ISO 9001:2015)
Organizations vary in size and complexity, and in their relationship to legal entities and can be – A single person or a team – A complex network of legal entities united by common objectives, relationships and authorities
8
Service Providers
Organizations who provide or deliver services are referred to as service providers “It is important that the service provider has a clear understanding of who its consumers are in a given situation and who the other stakeholders are in the associated service relationships�
9
Service Relationship - Co-Creating Value for Stakeholders
Service Relationship
10
Service Relationships Service relationships are established between two or more organizations to co-create value. In a service relationship, organizations will take on the roles of service providers or service consumers. The two roles are not mutually exclusive, and organizations typically both provide and consume a number of services at any given time
11
Product, Services and Resources
12
Service and Product ITIL 4 definitions: A Service is a means of enabling value co-creation by facilitating Outcomes that customers want to achieve, without the customer having to manage specific Costs and Risks “The service is what creates the outcomes by using a number of products” E.g. The Spotify music service
A Product is a configuration of an organizations resources designed to offer value for a consumer “The product is what the service provider produce and sell” E.g. The Spotify music streaming platform, including the mobile apps, the web sites, the supporting services etc
13
Service Relationship, Service Offering and Products Ă˜ A Service Offering is formal description of one or more services, designed to address the needs of a target consumer group Ă˜ A Service Offering may include goods, access to resources, and service actions
14
The ITIL v3 Service Lifecycle The ITIL v3 Service Lifecycle ยง An approach to IT service management that emphasizes the importance of coordination and control across the various functions, processes and systems necessary to manage the full lifecycle of IT services ยง The service lifecycle approach considers the strategy, design, transition, operation and continual improvement of IT services. Also known as service management lifecycle
15
The ITIL 4 Service Value System (SVS) The ITIL Service Value System has been specifically designed to enable flexibility and discourage siloed working

The Agile Manifesto and the ITIL Guiding Principles
The Four Values of The Agile Manifesto Ø Ø Ø Ø
Individuals and Interactions Over Processes and Tools Working Software Over Comprehensive Documentation Customer Collaboration Over Contract Negotiation Responding to Change Over Following a Plan
“That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.”
The ITIL 4 Guiding Principles Ø Ø Ø Ø Ø Ø Ø
Focus on Value Start Where You Are Progress Iteratively with Feedback Collaboration and Promote Visibility Think and work Holistically Keep it Simple and Practical Optimize and Automate
17
1. The Guiding Principle - Focus on Value ”Focus on Value” aims at creating value for service consumers To achieve this value, organizations need to tie back the different activities (directly or indirectly) that they do in a logical way. This include to: • • • •
Understand and identify the service consumer Understand the consumer’s perspective of value Map value to intended outcomes, which change over time Understand the Customer experience (CX) and/or User experience (UX)
18
2. The Guiding Principle - Start where You Are �Start Where You Are� focuses on considering what is already available instead of starting from scratch (or Reusability) To achieve this, analysing the existing state is essential to identify what can be helpful in creating the new value
19
3. The Guiding Principle - Progress Iteratively with Feedback �Progress Iteratively with Feedback� focuses on avoiding everything in a go and gathering the timely feedback To achieve this, breaking down the work into smaller, manageable components is essential to iteratively accomplish the initiative
20
4. The Guiding Principle - Collaborate and promote Visibility �Collaborate and Promote Visibility� focuses on removing silos and building trust To achieve this, the people of an organization need to work together and share information to the greatest degree possible Without transparency there may be an impression that the work is not a priority Insufficient visibility of work leads to poor decision-making
21
5. The Guiding Principle - Think And Work Holistically �Think and Work Holistically� focuses on working in an integrated way To achieve this, the various activities of an organization should focus on the delivery of value A holistic approach to service management requires an understanding of how all the parts of an organization work together in an integrated way
22
6. The Guiding Principle - Keep it Simple and practical �Keep it Simple and Practical� focuses on simplifying the complex work methods To achieve this, identify and eliminate processes, services, actions, or metrics that do not add any value to the outcome Outcome-based thinking should be used to produce practical solutions that deliver valuable outcomes Start with an uncomplicated approach, and add later Do not try to produce a solution for every exception
23
7. The Guiding Principle - Optimize and Automate �Optimize and Automate� focuses on optimizing the work carried out by its human and technical resources To achieve this, organizations should automate work to the possible extent that requires minimal human intervention Optimization means to make something as effective and useful as makes sense Automation is the use of technology to perform a step or series of steps correctly and consistently with limited or no human intervention Automating frequent and repetitive tasks helps organizations scale up and allows human resources to be used for more complex decision-making
24
The Four Dimensions of ITIL4 The four resource types a service provider uses when providing a service
25
The ITIL 4 Service Value System, SVS The five Components of the Service Value System (SVS) Ø ITIL Guiding principles Ø Governance Ø ITIL Service Value Chain Ø ITIL Practices Ø Continual Improvement
The ITIL Service Value Chain is the central part of the SVS It provides an operating model for the creation, delivery and continual improvement of services

Components of a Value Stream Map
29
The ITIL 4 Service Value Chain § The ITIL Service Value Chain is an operating model for service providers that covers all the key activities required to effectively manage products and services and the central part of the Service Value System (SVS) § Value Streams are the series of steps that an organization undertakes to create and deliver products and services to consumers. A value stream is a combination of the organization’s value chain activities
30
The Engage Value Chain Activity
Engage: The value chain activity that provides a good understanding of stakeholder needs, transparency and continual engagement and good relationships with all stakeholders
31
The Plan Value Chain Activity
Plan: The value chain activity that ensures a shared understanding of the vision, current status, and improvement direction for all four dimensions and all products and services across an organization
32
The Design & Transition Value Chain Activity
Design & Transition: The value chain activity that ensures products and services continually meet stakeholder expectations for quality, costs, and time to market
33
The Obtain / Build Value Chain Activity
Obtain / Build: The value chain activity that ensures that service components are available when and where they are needed, and meet agreed specifications
34
The Deliver & Support Value Chain Activity
Deliver & Support: The value chain activity that ensures that services are delivered and supported according to agreed specifications and stakeholders expectations
35
The Improve Value Chain Activity
Improve: The activity that ensures continual improvement of products, services, and practices across all value chain activities and the four dimensions of service management
36
The Example Value Stream - Development of a new service Value Streams are the series of steps that an organization undertakes to create and deliver products and services to consumers. A value stream is a combination of the organization’s value chain activities
37
The Example Value Stream - Restoring a live Service Value Streams are the series of steps that an organization undertakes to create and deliver products and services to consumers. A value stream is a combination of the organization’s value chain activities
38
The ITIL 4 Service Value System, SVS A Practice is a set of organizational capabilities, processes and resources designed for performing work or fulfilling an objective. The Practices enhances the flexibility of the Service Value Chain. Each ITIL practice supports multiple service value chain activities
