Nowadays IT leaders and IT professionals are faced with an increasingly fast and demanding world. They must deliver effective IT services at an increasingly rapid pace, meeting an extreme competitive demand. In order to successfully face all these challenges, there is only one imperative: improve skills.

The applicability of ITIL is now much broader, with a particular emphasis on

  • the world of business and technology,
  • how it works today,
  • how it will work in the future with Agile, DevOps, Lean, IT governance, leadership,
  • digital transformation.
