VeriSM Foundation Certification

VeriSM™ describes a service management approach from the organizational level, looking at the end-to-end view rather than focusing on a single department. 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 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. Rather than focusing on one prescriptive way of working, it helps organizations to respond to their consumers and deliver value with integrated service management practices. VeriSM™ shows you how to fit your current, effective ways of working into an overall organizational context and flexibly adopt different management practices to meet different service management situations.
