What is the ISO 20000 for Data Center Engineers course about?

Technical teams often hand off service documentation to governance consultants who repackage the same data, and charge double. The gap isn't compliance, it's framing. Without a structured way to package operational rigor as client value, engineers miss the chance to lead premium engagements.
