ITIL® 4 will be hitting shelves in February 2019, but how is it different from ITIL V3? We joined forces with AXELOS in this webinar to break down what's changing with ITIL 4, how this can benefit you and your organisation, and how you can book onto a course.

8. Spotify – case study
Spotify’s mission is to unlock the potential of human creativity by giving one million artists the
opportunity to live off their art, and billions of fans the chance to enjoy and be inspired by these creators.
Transparency, visualisation, an agile mindset and speed are their driving forces and mantras.
In 2017, their organisational growth was massive, they experienced growth pains and the need for
company-wide policies and common ways of working increased. ITIL, as a framework, was relatively
unknown within the Spotify organisation at this point, but now it has become intrinsic to how their
organisation operates – ITIL was their guide… from start up to scale-up!
They were able to:
• Increase work flow – more work items were completed and lead times shortened
• Reduce waste – more time was spent on the work items that created most value
• Increase in quality and work on infrastructure projects increased
• Improve relationships with and between customers – creating beneficial synergies
9. Equinor - case study (formerly Statoil)
Norwegian multinational energy company with operations in thirty six countries.
Equinor have taken the ITIL framework far beyond its ITSM roots in the last 13 years,
now focused on achieving efficiencies with back office functions.
They run 130 services, handle > 700k of incoming incidents annually, work with 600
vendors, serving 40k and has 1500 employees. The goal was to take a customer-centric
view of its shared services, rather than one based on internal function.
With significant overstaffing reduced in the last four years, and with a 35% cost reduction,
utilising the ITIL framework outside ITSM has paid off for Equinor.
The combination of an overarching set of ITIL principles and a unifying technology
platform has enabled them to standardise processes and deliver a holistic solution for its
users.

24. ITIL: The main differences between ITIL V3 and ITIL 4
• The ITIL 4 framework expands itself to the wider context of customer experience, value streams and
digital transformation
• ITIL 4 emphasises a holistic approach by defining dimensions of service management that are collectively
essential to the facilitation of value
• It has evolved beyond the delivery of services to providing value co-creation with the customer
• In ITIL 4, there are now practices rather than processes covering roles, skills, people and resources. All
ITIL 4 practices have been refreshed to reflect the evolution of ITSM and current ways of working
• The guiding principles released in ITIL Practitioner are now core to the ITIL 4 framework
• ITIL 4 will reflect other frameworks and integrate with new ways of working including Agile, DevOps,
Lean, IT governance and leadership
