Through a series of live-action rounds participants of Operation Aftermath will experience the trials and tribulations of managing the vital services that make up a refugee camp.
Delegates will be involved in activities from all five parts of the service lifecycle: Service Strategy, Service Design, Service Transition, Service Operations and Continual Service Improvement. By experiencing the whole of the ITIL® lifecycle it will become clear how decisions made in one activity can have a large impact on subsequent operations.
Due to the broad spectrum of processes covered in this simulation it is suitable for anyone involved in IT Service Management. In fact, a mixed team of service desk operatives, developers and IT service managers only adds to the realism of the day.
- Demonstrate exceptional customer service
- Efficiently handle incidents
- Evaluate change requests in an unbiased manner
- Design new services which are in line with business need
- Successfully release new services into the live environment
- Evaluate new and existing services aligned with your wider IT Service Management strategy
- Create and invoke an IT Service Continuity Management plan
- Work as a team to ensure IT adds maximum value to the business
Operation Aftermath provides a safe environment to discover the benefits of using processed-based working. Though based around the ITIL® service management framework, teams will also return to work with a greater understanding of the importance of working as a team, clear and timely communication and how to run to contribute to successful meetings.
Whether you are new to ITIL® or a seasoned pro, Operation Aftermath will allow you to see how IT Service Management works in context. An additional benefit is that you will experience ITIL® not only from a day-to-day Service Operation perspective, but also carry out processes from other parts of the lifecycle such as Service Transition and Service Strategy.
