Last week, March 3, IFDC and EXIN – in cooperation with APMG, BCS and Van Haren Publishing – organized a webinar with the title ’10 steps towards successful Digital Transformation – by adopting, adapting and applying VeriSM™.
This webinar was a valuable combination of theory and practice:
- Theory from the two books that form the Body of Knowledge of VeriSM™; VeriSM™: a service management approach for the digital age end VeriSM™: Unwrapped and Applied.
- Practice stories of people in the field who shared their experience on how they applied VeriSM™, in which situation and with what outcome.
To give the webinar more structure, the brand new ’10 steps to adopting, adapting and applying VeriSM™’ were used. This guide with 10 steps was the next logical output of VeriSM™ after the publication of the two books; as Chief Architect Claire Agutter explains in the webinar: ‘The first book described the ‘what’ of VeriSM™. After the successful release, people wanted to know more about the ‘how’. This resulted in the second book with a lot of guidance and practical examples. But for sure, it is a really ‘big book’. To help people get started, and find their way in the VeriSM™ approach, these 10 steps are created.’
