Why the certification is relevant

Services is at the heart of an enterprise, and the Service Analyst Program is uniquely designed with service modelling training and project mentoring in the participant’s own project(s). This ensures the highest level of knowledge transfer and skills building to meet today’s organizations’ cross-disciplinary capability requirements for professionals involved in such projects.

The program has been structured to build on the existing capabilites of the practitioner and to infuse a new way of thinking, working and modelling.
