In an increasingly fast-paced and complex digital world, organizations are embracing ITIL 4 as the reference framework to accomplish change. Gartner defines digital disruption as “an effect that changes the fundamental expectations and behaviors in a culture, market, industry or process that is caused by, or expressed through, digital capabilities, channels or assets.” Digital disruption is the new norm as technological progresses give rise to new products, services – ever increasing customer demands and expectations. The Information Technology Infrastructure Library Edition 4 (ITIL 4) framework enables organizations to embrace digital transformation in an incremental and proven manner at speed with concepts like high velocity IT.
