Are you struggling with implementing ITIL4 into your organisation? Do you want a fun and interactive way to learn how to drive improvements in your organisation?

itSMFnz is excited to announce a MarsLander Simulation... Taster. This two-hour interactive, collaborative simulation allows teams to experience how to use ITIL4 in a practical way.

As a team, we have too much work, including issues, events, internal initiatives, and external demands such as projects. How do we prioritise this work? How do we justify prioritising internal initiatives over business projects? Do we understand what 'value' to the organisation is? 

This exercise within the MarsLander simulation will focus on two areas: the Service Value System within ITIL4 and the need to collaborate and promote visibility. At the end of the exercise you will have gathered a number of takeaways which can be used to drive improvements in your organisation. 

This exercise will allow you:
  • To practice the Guiding principles ‘Collaborate & Promote visibility’, ‘Focus on value’.
  • To understand ‘value’ from different stakeholder perspectives and what this means for ‘co-create’ value.  
  • To understand the Service Value System and how to use this.
