An internal IT service provider does not have all the skills needed to create and deliver a new service, but could develop them with enough time. There are many external service providers who can provide this service. Which approach should the organization follow to decide if they should use the internal service provider or to source the service externally?
The organization should 'Start by reviewing organizational policies for sourcing services, then identify the most important criteria for selecting a service provider, and use a 'decision matrix' to compare service providers.' ITIL 4 advises that when deciding whether to source a service internally or externally, it is crucial to consider organizational policies, identify key criteria for selection, and use a structured approach like a decision matrix to make an informed choice.
A service provider has received information from market analysis which shows that there is strong demand for one of its products in countries in which it does not usually operate. Which activity should the service provider perform now?
When a service provider identifies a strong demand for one of its products in new markets, the next step is to 'Understand and influence the behavior of different user profiles.' ITIL 4 emphasizes the importance of understanding customer and user profiles to tailor services and marketing strategies effectively. By understanding the behavior and needs of different user profiles in these new markets, the service provider can better position its product and influence purchasing decisions.
Which statement about the end-to-end customer journey is CORRECT?Which approach would be BEST aligned to the 'design thinking' methodology at this initial 'empathy' stage?
The correct statement about the end-to-end customer journey is that 'It reflects an overall perception.' ITIL 4 explains that the customer journey encompasses the entire experience a customer has with a service provider, from initial contact to final service delivery and beyond. It is about the overall perception and experience rather than just optimizing individual touchpoints.
An organization is using an out-of-the-box service from a large service provider. How does the service provider know about the organization's needs?
In the case of using an out-of-the-box service from a large service provider, the service provider typically knows about the organization's needs because 'The service provider's marketing and business analysis teams consider generic market needs, instead of the needs of this specific organization.' ITIL 4 indicates that standardized services are often designed based on common market needs rather than being tailored to the specific needs of individual customers, which is common with large, scalable service offerings.
Just minutes before the service desk operations close for the day, a user calls with an urgent request. What would be the BEST way to respond to the request?
In situations where a request is urgent, particularly just before the close of service desk operations, it is crucial to assess the impact of the request on the user's business or operations. If the impact is significant, providing assistance outside of the agreed business hours is justified. This approach reflects the ITIL 4 guiding principles of 'Focus on Value' and 'Collaborate and Promote Visibility.'
By assessing the impact first, the service provider ensures that resources are allocated effectively to situations that truly need immediate attention, thereby protecting the overall service value and maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction.
Logging the ticket and addressing it during business hours (A) may be appropriate for non-urgent issues, but in this scenario, it could negatively impact the user. Escalating to the second line team (B) is also viable but may not be necessary if the first line can handle the issue. Simply asking the user to call back during business hours (D) could harm the relationship with the user and does not align with the principle of ensuring user satisfaction.
