ITIL 5 represents a significant evolution from ITIL 4, introducing product-centric models, AI governance frameworks, and non-linear lifecycle approaches. UAE professionals should upgrade to gain an advantage in Dubai's digital economy and strategic roles in transformation initiatives. The differences are as follows:

• Operating model shift – ITIL 4 focuses on practice-centric thinking, while ITIL 5 emphasises product and value-oriented operating models that align with modern enterprise structures.

• Lifecycle approach – ITIL 5 introduces non-linear and adaptive lifecycle flows, replacing ITIL 4's more rigid structures, enabling UAE organizations to respond dynamically to market changes.

• Value creation focus – ITIL 5 clearly differentiates between outputs, outcomes, and realised business value, addressing structural limitations seen in ITIL 4 implementations across Dubai enterprises.

• Experience-driven delivery – ITIL 5 incorporates CX, UX, and XLAs for service perception measurement, which are absent in ITIL 4's traditional SLA-focused approach.

• AI integration – ITIL 5 provides AI governance frameworks and automation use cases critical for the UAE's digital government projects and technology-driven transformation.

Value stream mapping is the process of examining an end-to-end service workflow to understand how activities contribute to customer and business value. During the course, participants learn to identify bottlenecks, redundant steps, operational constraints, and opportunities to improve service efficiency.

• IT Service Manager
• Service Delivery Manager
