RELATED MATERIAL
Apart from the ISO/IEC 20000 standard, ITIL is also complementary to many other standards, frameworks and approaches. No one of these items will provide everything that an enterprise will wish to use in developing and managing their business. The secret is to draw on them for their insight and guidance as appropriate. Among the many such complementary approaches are:
• Balanced scorecard: A management tool developed by Dr Robert Kaplan and Dr David Norton. A balanced scorecard enables a strategy to be broken down into key performance indicators (KPIs). Performance against the KPIs is used to demonstrate how well the strategy is being achieved. A balanced scorecard has four major areas, each of which are considered at different levels of detail throughout the organisation.
• COBIT: Control OBjectives for Information and related Technology provides guidance and best practice for the management of IT processes. COBIT is published by the IT Governance Institute.
• CMMI-SVC: Capability Maturity Model Integration is a process improvement approach that gives organisations the essential elements for effective process improvement. CMMI-SVC is a variant aimed at service establishment,
management, and delivery.
• EFQM: The European Foundation for Quality Management is a framework for organisational management systems.
• eSCM–SP: eSourcing Capability Model for Service Providers is a framework to help IT service providers develop their IT service management capabilities from a service sourcing perspective.
