The ITIL 4 Foundation course is designed for all IT managers, consultants and other professionals who need to learn the IT Service Management framework or want to upgrade their knowledge to the latest version of ITIL.

ITIL 4 is not only aimed at IT Management and professional consultants. The ITIL 4 Foundation level course can be recommended for anyone involved in IT projects or digital transformation. The course is also suitable as a bridge from ITIL v3.

In which roles will you apply this course with ITIL 4 processes?

• IT Management

• IT Consulting (IT setup and optimization)

• Project Managers (responsibility for IT projects)

• CFOs (how to invest and account for IT services)

• Enterprise Architects (design and development of enterprise architecture)

We'll show you ITIL 4 on steroids. On a real simulation.

Through unique hands-on examples (from simulations like Apollo 13, Mars Lander, DevOps ) we will show you how to connect the "Guiding Principles", "Dimensions" and "Practice" compliments to the ITIL 4 Service Value System. This is defacto an illustrative example of ITIL 4 on "steroids.

Imagine using real simulation templates to ensure flow between Incident and Problem Management, then Change Control without any problems.

We'll answer questions on issues you may encounter when deploying ITIL 4. You will learn how to work properly with templates and implement "key actions" to ensure that ITIL 4 is a successful digital transformation tool for you too. This is simply not to be missed.

ITIL focuses on aligning IT and business, or supporting the achievement of the organisation's strategic and business objectives. What do you mean by that? It is a set of best practices (examples of proven practices) that help in the day-to-day agenda of a project manager.

The use of ITIL best practices is free of charge. The necessary knowledge is contained in the ITIL books, or you can obtain it through ITIL training with an Accredited Training Organisation (ATO) including ITIL certification. The ITIL framework is nowadays supported by software tools as standard, but also by cloud services.

ITIL originated in the 1980s and was originally created by the UK government. It is now owned by Axelos methodology. The current version is ITIL 4 (official release is February 2019) and is an update of the previous version ITIL v3 or ITIL 2011. On the same date, the basic course is officially launched with a three-year certification period.

The methodology gives you guidance on how to manage structured ITIL processes.

It shows managers the right approach to one of the most important domains of a successful organisation: delivering IT services to support, automate and make operations more efficient. It doesn't matter how big a company you are. Nor does it matter whether you run a company, handle IT in a government organization, or are responsible for an IT project. By the way, you can find a comprehensive list of benefits in the ITIL benefits section.

ITIL4 is an agile methodology and focuses much more on users than on processes. It supports modern approaches and technologies. It delivers greater efficiency in an era of digital transformation and shows how to deal with increasingly demanding user requirements. Ultimately, these best practices strengthen competitiveness.

Overall, the holistic approach of ITIL v4 supports not only IT Service Management, but also other dominant elements of IT governance that are needed to integrate and optimize IT. In addition, it leverages the best elements from DevOps, Lean IT and Cloud Computing.

ITIL 4 has completely restructured processes and activities that were contained in the ITIL v3 framework. The methodology has been upgraded or transformed to meet the requirements in times of digital transformation. All best practice procedures support the 6 key activities of the ITIL service value chain.

• 14 general management practices

• 17 service management practices

• 3 technical management practices
