Your architecture work drives compliance outcomes, but rarely gets seen by leadership
The situation this course is for
High-impact design decisions around service delivery frameworks like ISO 20000 often go unnoticed by executives, even though they define audit success, vendor integration, and operational continuity. The architect who owns the SoA, control mappings, and service boundary definitions should be the reference point, but without visibility, that influence stays buried.
Who this is for
Senior Technology Architect at a global systems integrator, responsible for shaping service management frameworks across client engagements, with deep hands-on exposure to ISO 20000 implementation, control design, and service delivery governance.
Who this is not for
Junior consultants, entry-level auditors, or professionals focused solely on internal IT operations without cross-client architecture responsibilities.
What you walk away with
- Own the service organizational assurance narrative end to end
- Produce documented control mappings that survive leadership changes
- Gain direct influence over ISO 20000 audit scope and evidence requirements
- Lead cross-functional service delivery alignment without escalation
- Build reusable service architecture templates adopted across engagements
