Value and its dimensions
What value is and who co-creates it, output versus outcome, and the dimensions around every service. A new booking system works technically, yet customers avoid it.
Value system and principles
How principles, governance and improvement work together, and how a service moves from idea to retirement. Two teams build the same fix because nobody started from what exists.
Practices and flow
The management practices a service needs, and value stream mapping to expose waiting and waste. A simple access request takes a week across four departments.
How to organize your study
- Start with the language of value: Product, service, output and outcome come first.
- Understand the dimensions: And how each views the service from its own angle.
- Learn principles by example: One situation from your work for each principle.
- Follow the lifecycle: From idea to retirement, and what each stage involves.
- Link practices to flow: Map one value stream and mark the practices in it.
- Revise against the clock: 40 questions in 60 minutes: about 90 seconds each.
Before applying for the credential
Training not mandatory: PeopleCert does not require a training course before the Foundation exam. Languages: English plus eight other languages, including French, German and Spanish. Renewal: Every three years, through 60 CPD points or by passing another exam.
