It's hard to assimilate all the information in 1 day, but this module provides a good basis for doing your own research, and opens a number of doors.

True discovery of the ITIL4 concept. A short introductory slide on the evolution from ITIL3 to ITIL4 would have been a real plus to introduce the following slides and give the meaning. A really committed trainer! A dynamic group. Great session!
