The module equips candidates with the skills to influence and inspire others to work in a desired way and create effective, high performing IT and digital teams. This module will be a key component of both ITIL 4 Managing Professional and ITIL 4 Strategic Leader.

ITIL Direct, Plan and Improve course provides guidance on aligning product and service management with today’s business requirements, driving successful organizational transformation, and embedding continual improvement into an organization’s culture at every level.

ITIL Direct, Plan and Improve is part of the ITIL 4 suite, the latest evolution of the most widely adopted guidance for IT and service management. It was written for those with a foundational knowledge of the ITIL 4 guidance who want to develop their understanding of essential principles and techniques.

When multiple people are involved in business activities, coordination and collaboration are crucial. Because organizations are usually hierarchical, direction is often provided from the top down. Unless the objectives and actions of groups at different levels of the organization are planned and aligned, their desired outcomes are unlikely to be achieved. Even if they are achieved, poor coordination often results in waste, including missteps, restarts, and rework.

Planning creates a shared understanding of how work will be organized and managed, allowing contributors to understand their roles, and to coordinate and collaborate efficiently and effectively.

Finally, improvement is a critical component of any successful organization. Identifying and acting upon improvement opportunities ensures that the organization will grow and remain successful and competitive over time.

Prerequisites:

You are required to have successfully attained your ITIL 4 Foundation certificate.
