ITIL Service Lifecycle - Continual Service Improvement

You must have completed ITIL® Foundation before attending this course. ITIL® Service Lifecycle - Continual Service Improvement Overview This 3 day ITIL® Continual Service Improvement (CSI) course provides a comprehensive overview of this area of the Service Lifecycle and prepares you to take the Continual Service Improvement exam, leading to the ITIL® CSI certification. The exam is included. ITIL® Continual Service Improvement is one of the nine ITIL® Intermediate courses which can be mixed and matched to gain the credits needed to achieve the ITIL® Expert certification, and one of the five courses which make up the Service Lifecycle Stream. Continual Service Improvement concerns the principles and techniques used to improve services during the lifecycle. This course opens with defining the purpose and scope of CSI, which is used to consistently augment IT services to better support business needs and strategic objectives. The course then breaks down the structure of CSI into its seven basic components based around the PDCA cycle, and delineates the inputs needed to perform each process effectively. Delegates attending the course will also gain an understanding of the methods through which CSI can be implemented, and when best to make use of tools such as gap analysis, benchmarking, and reporting during the CSI lifecycle. The course moves on to consider how to analyse a business' capacity for improvement as well as the roles needed to undertake CSI as effectively as possible. Finally, the course looks at the practicalities, challenges, and risks facing CSI, and explores how these might be overcome. Delegates attending this course can expect to leave with a full understanding of CSI as well as ideas about which forms of CSI and related processes might be most useful for their own organisational contexts. By providing a comprehensive ITIL® framework of the improvement activities that should be carried out during the service lifecycle, Continual Service Improvement will be particularly beneficial to anybody involved in these activities. This Continual Service Improvement course counts for 3 credits towards an ITIL® Practitioner qualification.
