Question 3

- (Exam Topic 4)
When using the ‘continual improvement model, which information should be produced by an organization to understand where the organization is now?

Accepted Answer

The second step is to conduct an objective current-state assessment of existing services and service management practices. This should include consideration of
the users’ perception of the value being received, along with a review of people’s competencies and skills, the processes and procedures involved, the
capabilities of the available technological solutions and the prevailing organizational culture. The success of an improvement initiative depends on a clear and
accurate understanding of the starting point and the required impact of the initiative.
For example, an organization can measure the current net promoter score (NPS) from a customer satisfaction survey, conduct a benchmark survey against its
competitors or review findings of operational statistics or audit reports to understand its current state. If this step is skipped, the current state will not be understood
and there will not be an objective baseline measurement against which improvement can be measured.

Question 7

- (Exam Topic 4)
Which of the four dimensions contributes MOST to defining activities needed to deliver services?

Accepted Answer

Value Streams & Processes
The value streams and processes dimension is concerned with how the various parts of the organization work in an integrated and coordinated way to enable
value creation through products and services. This dimension defines the activities, workflows, controls and procedures needed to achieve agreed objectives.
What matters in service management is that an organization establishes an operating model that that effectively organizes the key activities needed to manage
products and services.
Value streams
A value stream is defined as a series of steps an organization undertakes to create and deliver products and services to consumers.
Structuring the organization’s service and product portfolios around value streams allows it to have a clear picture of what it delivers and how, and to make
continual improvements to its services. By mapping its value streams, an organization can identify what is critical, what introduces waste and what can be
improved upon.
Processes
A process is defined as a set of interrelated or interacting activities that transform inputs into outputs. Processes define the sequence of actions and their
dependencies, as well as describe what is done to
accomplish an objective. Processes are underpinned by policies and can be broken down further through procedures which outline what is done, when, and by
whom.
