Study notes
- The SVS takes two inputs, opportunity (options to add value or improve) and demand (the need or desire for products and services), and produces value for the organization and its stakeholders.
- Its five components are the guiding principles, governance, the service value chain, practices and continual improvement.
- Governance is how an organization is directed and controlled; the governing body evaluates, directs and monitors.
- The SVS aims to break down silos: an organization that works as one integrated system can respond faster to change.
