7 ways ITIL can help you in an economic downturn

A balanced diet, exercise, and adequate sleep all contribute to physical health. When these habits are in place, your body can successfully cope — and even perform well — during periods of stress. If you don’t follow healthy habits, then stressful events are more likely to slow you down physically and sometimes can negatively affect your long-term well being.
Similarly, the best practices outlined in the IT Infrastructure Library® (ITIL®) promote a wellfunctioning, collaborative IT environment, enabling the business and the capabilities and resources of the IT organization to cope with the effects of economic stress. In addition, ITIL can help you to deliver higher-performing technology services. This helps business to be both more competitive today and better poised for growth when the economy begins to rebound.
