The event encourages participation by providing first-hand practical experience of the process maturity needed to build integrated Service Management processes including incident, problem, change, configuration and service level management. Participants find out about the pressure involved in delivering a high availability service, and are able to apply ITIL principles, as the simulation progresses, in order to improve collective corporate performance. The highly interactive content provides powerful reinforcement of valuable lessons. The knowledge gained stays with participants as they drive and lead the activities their organisation needs to successfully implement ITSM as a best practice, quickly, and without reliance on high cost implementations. The underlying theme of fun and learning reinforces the key best practice concepts, in a way that not only is memorable, but also that leads to an understanding of, and buy-in to, the whole idea and purpose of IT Service Management.
The simulation creates four retail organisations, with each company having a number of on-line and in-store transactions that must be completed successfully in order to generate revenue. Each transaction requires a number of key business applications, and is heavily reliant on the underlying IT infrastructure. The objective of the simulation is to process business transactions within a fixed period of time (25 minutes per round), generating revenue for the operating company. A payment is received for each transaction, either on-line or in-store, that is processed on time. If a transaction is late, then no payment is received. Successful transactions rely heavily on a fully operational IT infrastructure.
