Key Concepts of Service Management
- Service: Enables value co-creation by facilitating outcomes customers want, without direct customer cost and risk management
- Service management: Specialized organizational capabilities enabling value through services
- Customer: Defines service requirements and takes responsibility for outcomes
- User: Consumes services
- Sponsor: Authorizes service consumption budget (often an organization or individual)
- Utility: Functionality of a product/service, answering "what the service does"
- Warranty: Assurance of meeting agreed requirements, relating to service levels, typically availability, capacity, security & continuity (ensuring "fit for use")
Key Concepts of Creating Value with Services
- Value: Perceived benefits, usefulness, and importance
- Output: Tangible or intangible deliverable of an activity
- Outcome: Result for a stakeholder, enabled by outputs
- Cost: Amount spent on activity/resource
- Risk: Possible event causing harm, loss, or difficulty achieving objectives (uncertainty of outcome)
- Organization: Entity with functions, responsibilities, authorities, and relationships to achieve objectives
Key Concepts of Service Relationships
- Service offering: Product/service description addressing target consumer groups (may include goods, resource access and actions)
- Service relationship management: Joint activities between service provider and consumer for continuous value co-creation
- Service provision: Service provider activities—resource management, user access, service actions, service level management, and continual improvement
- Service consumption: Service consumer activities—resource management, user actions, and receiving of goods
ITIL Guiding Principles
- Focus on value: All organizational activities support stakeholder value (including customer and user experience)
- Start where you are: Leverage existing resources, processes, programs, and people to achieve outcomes.
- Progress iteratively with feedback: Achieve large initiatives by smaller, completed steps; using feedback for guidance.
- Collaborate and promote visibility: Collaboration across boundaries for enhanced buy-in, enhanced objective relevance and greater success potential. Work visibility, shared information, and trust building are important.
- Think and work holistically: The service and elements of service delivery work together—interconnected information, technology, people, practices, partners, and agreements needed
- Keep it simple and practical: Eliminate non-value adding processes and use minimum steps.
- Optimize and automate: Resources should be used efficiently. Technology should improve and eliminate waste, manual actions should only be involved where necessary.
Four Dimensions of Service Management
- Organizations & people: Well-defined organizational structure, roles, responsibilities, authority & communication
- Information & technology: Information/knowledge and technologies, managing entire service value system
- Partners & suppliers: Relationships with other organizations, contracts, and partnerships

- Demand: Needs/desires of internal/external customers
- Value: Perceived benefits of something
- Guiding principles: Recommendations for any circumstance
- Governance: Organized direction and control
