PoleStar Training Simulation

The business benefits attained with IT Service Management (ITSM) best practice frameworks and standards such as ITIL^® and ISO/IEC 20000 are well known. Service Management greatly enhances the efficiency of day-to-day operations and ensures effective integration between the business and IT.

However, driving widespread adoption and acceptance of ITIL^® and ITSM can be quite a challenge. Getting general staff and decision makers "on board" with Service Improvement initiatives, such as the transition to ITIL^® V3, can become an expensive and time-consuming education proposition.

Introducing PoleStar ITSM

PoleStar ITSM is an interactive training simulation that offers a dynamic and energetic way to accelerate the understanding, involvement, and acceptance of ITIL^® V3 and ITSM best practices. Facilitated in the fast world of a global online retailer, PoleStar ITSM brings to life the behavioural and process issues faced by IT service providers today. This is achieved by providing participants with a realistic scenario to which they can directly relate. This unique experiential learning approach causes breakthrough understanding of ITSM and ITIL^® V3 best practice and transforms learning into an engaging, fun and highly memorable shared experience.

How it works

Delivered over 3 to 5 rounds, the PoleStar simulation is designed to introduce key ITSM concepts from ITIL^® V3 or ISO/IEC 20000 through a variety of gaming dynamics. The simulation structure reflects the service management lifecycle approach as defined by ITIL^® V3. In addition, the simulation experience continues between rounds through defined transition phases which require the participants engagement in planning for strategic and operational continuous service improvements.
