The ITIL Strategic Leader Stream in practice
ITIL 4 Strategic Leader consists of two modules:
- ITIL Strategist Direct Plan and Improve (universal module)
- ITIL Leader Digital and IT Strategy.
To obtain the designation ITIL 4 Strategic Leader, the candidate must complete both modules.
Accredited training for the ITIL 4 Strategic Leader modules is mandatory to enable full understanding of the core material. ITIL 4 Foundation is a prerequisite for all modules. In addition, the ITIL Leader module requires a minimum of three years of IT managerial experience.
ITIL 4 Strategist Direct Plan & Improve
This module provides individuals with the practical skills necessary to create a ‘learning and improving’ IT organisation, with a strong and effective strategic direction.
The module covers the influence and impact of Agile and Lean ways of working, and how they can be leveraged to an organisation’s advantage. It will provide ITIL practitioners with a practical and strategic method for planning and delivering continual improvement with the necessary agility.
ITIL Strategist Direct Plan and Improve is aimed at managers of all levels involved in shaping direction and strategy or developing a continually improving team. It will cover both practical and strategic elements.
