    What You Will Learn in VeriSM Foundation Training

    Seven Topic Areas, One Flexible Approach

    This VeriSM Foundation training covers the seven topic areas of the current EXIN examination specification, from the service organisation to getting started. By the end you can explain the VeriSM model, configure a management mesh, and apply progressive practices in context.

    Understand Modern Service Management

    Explain what a service organisation is, how value is co-created between provider and consumer, and why digital-age service delivery needs a flexible, outcome-focused approach.

    Build a Consumer-Centric Service Culture

    Apply the values, behaviours, people practices and ethics that put the consumer at the centre of service design and delivery.

    Apply the VeriSM Model and Management Mesh

    Work with governance, service management principles and the mesh of resources, environment, and emerging and management practices to shape a context-fit approach.

    Integrate ITIL, Agile, DevOps and Lean

    Select and combine progressive management practices within the mesh instead of being locked into one prescriptive framework.

    Harness Innovative Technologies

    Understand how cloud, AI, automation, IoT and analytics reshape service management and the choices you make within your mesh.

    Get Started with VeriSM in Practice

    Assess current maturity, define an initial mesh, and drive continuous improvement through the Define, Produce, Provide and Respond stages.
