ITIL v4: Revolutionizing IT Service Management for the Digital Age

László Bocsó

Hello and welcome! I'm László Bocsó, and I'm thrilled to be your guide through the world of ITIL v4 Foundation. As an IT service management professional with over 15 years of experience, I've seen firsthand how proper IT service management can transform organizations and drive success. My journey into the world of ITIL began early in my career when I was working as a helpdesk technician for a large financial services company. I quickly realized that while we were solving individual issues, we weren't addressing the root causes of recurring problems or improving our overall service delivery. This frustration led me to discover ITIL, and I was immediately captivated by its structured approach to IT service management. As I delved deeper into ITIL, I faced my fair share of challenges. The concepts were sometimes abstract, and implementing them in real-world scenarios wasn't always straightforward. However, I persevered, studying late into the night and seeking mentorship from experienced practitioners. I earned my ITIL v3 Foundation certification and began applying these principles in my work, seeing immediate improvements in our service quality and efficiency. Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with organizations of all sizes across various industries, helping them implement ITIL best practices and transform their IT services. I've witnessed the evolution of ITIL from version 3 to the current version 4, and I'm excited about the increased focus on value co-creation, digital transformation, and agile methodologies in this latest iteration. My passion for ITIL and IT service management has only grown stronger over time. I've become a certified ITIL Expert and an accredited ITIL trainer, sharing my knowledge with thousands of professionals worldwide. Now, with this ebook, I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to reach even more people and help them unlock the power of ITIL v4 Foundation. My biggest goal with this ebook is to demystify ITIL v4 Foundation and make it accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or experience level. I want to show you how these concepts can be applied in real-world situations to drive tangible improvements in IT service delivery and business value.

We'll explore the core concepts of ITIL v4, including the four dimensions of service management, the service value system, and the seven guiding principles.
