Additional Information

A strategic approach to enhancing service management

In many organizations, IT service management is still seen as a simple technical support function. However, the ITIL® methodology goes much further. It places stakeholder interactions at the center of priorities and turns every request into an opportunity for value creation. The ITIL® 4 Specialist – Drive Stakeholder Value training helps professionals adopt a structured approach and strengthen trust in their services. It builds on the ITIL®4 Foundation certification by addressing practical, directly applicable methods.

The importance of customer experience in IT services

The success of a service is not measured solely by its technical performance. Clients and users today expect a smooth, tailored, and personalized experience. Understanding the customer journey and identifying key touchpoints is now essential. This training highlights CX and UX design techniques that help anticipate needs, reduce friction, and improve overall satisfaction. Organizations that adopt this customer-focused vision benefit from stronger loyalty and a better reputation.

Aligning expectations to guarantee value

One of the major challenges in service management is aligning what a provider promises with what the client actually expects. ITIL® provides tools to negotiate and clarify commitments. The training explains how to define balanced service agreements based on real, measurable value. This alignment reduces misunderstandings and strengthens transparency. Participants also learn how to implement relevant indicators to assess performance and adjust offerings accordingly.

Building strong relationships with stakeholders

IT services rely on a wide range of stakeholders: suppliers, partners, clients, and internal users. Each has specific expectations and constraints. ITIL® teaches how to manage this diversity by building strong and lasting relationships. The training provides communication and collaboration techniques adapted to different contexts. It also emphasizes multi-supplier management, essential in environments where services depend on multiple providers. Organizations that successfully coordinate these actors gain a clear competitive advantage.

Co-creation of value as a driver of innovation

The value of a service is not created solely by the provider, but also through the engagement of clients and users. This is the principle of co-creation of value. By adopting this mindset, companies move beyond simply responding to requests—they build tailored, evolving solutions with their customers. The ITIL® 4 Specialist training introduces methods to encourage feedback, manage user communities, and transform input into tangible improvements. This approach fosters a collaborative mindset and stimulates innovation.

Measuring and proving service effectiveness

Demonstrating the value delivered by a service is crucial. Participants learn measurement and monitoring methods adapted to different contexts. Whether through usage rates, customer satisfaction, or performance indicators, collected data helps validate strategic choices and justify investments. This skill is particularly sought after by organizations needing to prove the return on investment of their digital initiatives. ITIL®4 therefore provides a solid framework to evaluate, benchmark, and improve services over time.

Why this training is an asset for professionals

The roles in IT service management are evolving quickly. Companies now expect their teams to understand business needs, negotiate with suppliers, and improve customer experience. ITIL® certification is an internationally recognized mark of credibility. It allows professionals to stand out and access leadership positions in service governance. Completing the ITIL® 4 Specialist – Drive Stakeholder Value training is therefore a strategic step to strengthen skills and advance a career.
