ITIL Qualifications Scheme Survey

When the full ITIL® Version 3 qualification scheme was complete there was always the expectation that the status of the Version 2 scheme would be reviewed.  As part of the process of seeking the views of all major stakeholders, the ITIL® Qualifications Board, led by OGC, commissioned itSMF International to create a questionnaire to gauge the level of relative interest in the two schemes.  The timetable for the eventual phased retirement of the Version 2 scheme will be determined by many factors such as availability of translated exams.  In releasing this survey we acknowledge that customer demand is also a major contributor to the decisions. 

By answering the questions in this survey you will have the opportunity to shape the future of the industry.  We have tried to balance meaningful questions without making the survey too cumbersome to complete.  The survey will be available for completion up to the end of Friday 24th July (UK time) so please this opportunity to help us.    Read more

The problem:

For most of the past 20 years IT spending has been on the increase by whopping factors of double-digit growth. The pinnacle reached its highest in 1999; after Y2K, the global economy got even stronger. Throughout the last two decades we have continued to build, buy and hire without strong governance structures, no long term plans or clear financial goals. As a result, considerable amount of redundancy and inefficiency occurred!

The Solution:

“Make it Green” - is only a window-dressing word and seriously taken for granted. Now during times of severe recession, we must trim the fat and eliminate inefficiencies. George will through ITIL, show us how.
