Join us for ITIL Practitioner, May 2-5 in our virtual classroom.

The phrase 'adopt and adapt' is often linked to the ITIL framework but what does it mean? Adopting ITIL involves committing to a service-oriented, customer-focused culture. Adapting ITIL involves striving to understand its practices, why they are recommended, and then applying critical thought to continuously adapting those practices to your organization's circumstances, needs and goals.

If you're interested in learning more, Donna Knapp Curriculum Development Manager at ITSM Academy gave a webinar introducing ITIL Practitioner which can be viewed here.
