Course Overview
The ITIL 4 Drive Stakeholder Value (DSV) qualification is intended to provide the candidate with an understanding of all types of engagement and interactions between a service provider and their customers, users, suppliers and partners, including key CX, UX and journey mapping concepts.
Course Objectives
Back in the industrial society, goods were a dominant factor in our lives. But in the “service era” we prefer to replace ownership of goods with access to services and resources without necessarily owning them.
This is happening with and without digital transformation, although the latter accelerates this phenomenon: think Uber and Airbnb.
In this context, the ITIL® 4 Specialist Drive Stakeholder Value module – within ITIL 4 Managing Professional – is about the engagement and interaction between service providers and stakeholders and the conversion of demand to value via IT-enabled services.
But what does this mean in practice?
Previously, services were treated in the same way as manufactured goods: it was the customer’s responsibility to derive value. Conversely, the core concept of ITIL 4 is that value is co-created.
Therefore, we have built this ITIL 4 module around the customer journey – from both parties engaging, agreeing to work together and interacting to co-create value.
While ITIL v3 taught a service provider to improve one-sidedly, ITIL 4 also encourages the service provider to help the consumer to improve. For example, the business product owner (the “consumer” in IT) is encouraged to adopt service management best practices as part of the product development relationship to elevate mutual capabilities and thereby increasing the co-created value.
