VeriSM™ Essentials & Foundation

Every organization is a service provider in today’s market.  Even organizations selling products need to add a level of service to them.

How do we best manage our services and keep our consumers happy? 

Recent years have seen an explosion of different service management practices, leaving organizations confused about the best way forward.

VeriSM is a new approach to help you create a flexible operating model that will work for you, based on your desired business outcomes.

 

What is VeriSM?

VeriSM is a service management approach for the digital age that helps service providers to create a flexible operating model to meet desired business outcomes. VeriSM helps organizations to define their service management principles, and develop a responsive operational model based on an integrated selection of management practices. VeriSM acknowledges the value of what has been done before, and provides an up-to-date approach to Service Management to make sure you are ready for the Digital Age. 

Based around the VeriSM model, it shows organizations how they can adopt a range of management practices in a flexible way to deliver the right product or service at the right time to their consumers. VeriSM allows for a tailored approach depending upon the type of business you are in, the size of your organization, your business priorities, your organizational culture – and even the nature of the individual project or service you are working on.

VeriSM stands for:

  • Value Driven
  • Evolving 
  • Responsive
  • Integrated Service Management.

 

The most important part of VeriSM is the unique Management Mesh.

VeriSM certification is avaliable in three modules:

  • Essentials - gives a comprehensive introduction to the service management principles
  • Foundation - combines content of Essentials and looks at the progressive practices and innovative technologies of modern service management
