ISO/IEC 20000 Readiness Assessment
IT Consultancy
Assessments
ISO/IEC 20000 is an international standard for IT service management that provides a framework for the effective delivery of IT services. Pink Elephant’s ISO 20000 Readiness Assessment is an objective assessment. It analyses whether your current IT Service Management state is at a level that will achieve formal certification.
The assessment measures the quality of your Service Management processes against the requirements set out by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO). It provides a roadmap for achieving certification.
This is a valuable pre-audit ISO/IEC 20000 gap analysis. It identifies areas of non-conformance that your organisation must address to achieve ISO/IEC 20000 certification.

Approach for ISO/IEC 20000 Readiness Assessment
Kick-off Presentation
The Pink Elephant consultant will facilitate a presentation for all stakeholders, identified interviewees, and workshop participants. The purpose is to provide an understanding of the assessment's purpose, scope, and objectives.
Process Artefacts Finding Workshops and Activities
Prior to the assessment workshop activities, our consultant will conduct a detailed review of evidence. Evidence includes process documentation, work products, and artefacts.
Assessment
The assessment phase involves a comprehensive review of the organisation's IT service management practices. Pink Elephant will hold a workshop session on each subject to discuss the process. The attendees will be a mixture of IT Managers, process managers (owner) along with process practitioners. Pink Elephant has developed a tailored set of questions. These questions are used to explore each process and the extent of compliance against the ISO/IEC 20000 standard.
ISO/IEC 20000 Gap Analysis
Following the workshops, the consultant will perform a Gap Analysis. This compares the organisation's current state against the standard's requirements. It identifies priority areas your organisation must address before the formal assessment and certification process begins. The ISO/IEC 20.000 consultant will work with the organisation to prioritise the identified gaps. Moreover, they will develop a plan for addressing them.
