Many IT service professionals are limited to executing predefined processes without shaping the frameworks behind them. This keeps them out of strategic conversations and limits their exposure to high-impact, high-visibility work. Without formal command of ISO 20000, practitioners remain tactical resources rather than recognized experts.
