Service Management - Set of specialized organisational capabilities for enabling value for customers in the form of services
Define Service and give an example
-
Service - 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. ITIL 4 now recognises that the customer is part of the co-creation of value as opposed to previously where it was the providers responsibility only
- A service could be paying in a cheque, previously you would need do this by taking the cheque to the bank. However you could deploy a “Service” to do this via taking a photo with your phone. Aspects of co-creation here require the user to have a phone and keep it updated.
