Study notes

  • Organizations and people: structure, culture, roles and responsibilities, staffing and the skills and competencies people need.
  • Information and technology: the information and knowledge needed to manage services and the technologies that support them, along with security, compliance and how information is exchanged.
  • Partners and suppliers: the organization’s relationships with other organizations that help design, deliver and support its services, and its strategy for sourcing them.
  • Value streams and processes: how the parts of the organization work together; the activities, workflows, controls and procedures that turn demand into value.
  • External factors, often summarized as PESTLE (political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental), constrain and influence all four dimensions.

What four dimensions questions test

  • Describe each of the four dimensions and recognize which one an example belongs to (syllabus 3.1)

How to study it

  • Sort examples into dimensions: a culture survey is organizations and people, a sourcing decision is partners and suppliers, a workflow map is value streams and processes.
  • Remember the dimensions apply to the whole service value system, not to one service only.
  • Take the four dimensions drill once or twice; it is a small but reliable section.
