Which of the following practices suggests that organizations should develop competencies in methodologies and techniques, like SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunity, and threat) analysis and balanced scorecard review, in order to meet their needs?
In ITIL 4, the continual improvement practice focuses on:
Aligning services and practices with changing business needs
Identifying and prioritizing improvement opportunities
Using appropriate methods and tools to assess and plan improvements
ITIL 4 explicitly notes that organizations should develop skills in assessment and improvement techniques, such as SWOT analysis and balanced scorecard reviews, to support continual improvement. These methods help assess the current state, opportunities, risks, and performance from multiple perspectives, and they feed into the continual improvement model.
Why the others are incorrect:
Incident management concentrates on restoring service after incidents; it does not specifically emphasize methodologies like SWOT or balanced scorecard.
Service request management deals with handling user requests efficiently and effectively, not with improvement analysis techniques.
Change enablement is about controlling and enabling beneficial changes; while it may use some analysis, it is not the practice highlighted for competencies in SWOT and balanced scorecard.
Therefore, the practice that encourages organizations to develop competencies in techniques such as SWOT analysis and balanced scorecard review is continual improvement, making B the correct answer.
