Service Approach

The ISO/IEC 20.000 Readiness Assessment service is a structured approach to assessing an organization’s readiness for ISO/IEC 20.000 certification. The service typically involves the following steps:

  1. Planning and Preparation:In this phase, the ISO/IEC 20.000 consultant will work with the organization to establish the scope and objectives of the service. This will involve identifying the key IT service management processes to be assessed, as well as establishing the timeline and budget for the service.
  2. Assessment:The assessment phase involves a comprehensive review of the organization’s IT service management practices. This may involve reviewing documentation, conducting interviews with key personnel, and observing IT service management processes in action. The ISO/IEC 20.000 consultant will use a standardized assessment methodology to ensure that the assessment is thorough and objective.
  3. Gap Analysis:The gap analysis phase involves the identification of gaps and areas for improvement in the organization’s IT service management practices. The ISO/IEC 20.000 consultant will work with the organization to prioritize the identified gaps and develop a plan for addressing them.
  4. Roadmap Development:The roadmap development phase involves the development of a detailed plan for achieving ISO/IEC 20.000 certification. This may involve the development of policies and procedures, the implementation of new ITSM processes, and the training of staff on IT service management best practices.
  5. Report and Presentation:The final phase of the service involves the development of a comprehensive report that summarizes the findings of the assessment and provides a roadmap for achieving ISO/IEC 20.000 certification. The report will include a detailed analysis of the organization’s IT service management practices, the identified gaps and areas for improvement, and the roadmap for achieving certification.

Prerequisites

There are no formal prerequisites for an ISO/IEC 20.000 readiness assessment service. However, it is recommended that the organization undergoing the assessment have a basic understanding of the IT service management (ITSM) framework and ISO/IEC 20.000 standard. Additionally, it is useful if the organization has a documented description of its IT services, service-level agreements, and service management policies and procedures. The more prepared an organization is before the assessment, the more effective the assessment can be in identifying areas for improvement and making recommendations for achieving ISO/IEC 20.000 certification.

Organizations that have not documented or structured their ITSM Processes yet, are recommended to start with our ITSM Process Design and Implementation service.
