About Pink Elephant Company History Pink Elephant started life some 30 years ago in Delft University in the Netherlands. A beer and peanuts company managed and staffed by students during their spare time while studying for their degree. We have come a long way since then, and now you can find us in lots of different locations throughout the world. For our global clients that means consistent services wherever they re located, whether that s Sao Paulo, Shanghai or Stevenage. A defining moment in the story of Pink Elephant was our establishment of the UK operating company in 1991 to support our involvement and contribution to the development of UK Government s initiative: the IT Infrastructure Library. Not only did we contribute to the writing of the books, we developed and delivered the very first ITIL training courses, we were also first to develop services around the library notably the application of CMM for the assessment of processes, and the use of the Kotter model for Service Management change programmes.

Service Strategy ILO General information Service Management ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) is the most widely accepted approach to IT service management best practice. What is Instructor-Led On-Line Training? The only difference between our conventional courses and Instructor-Led On-Line (ILO) courses is that you do not physically sit in a classroom. Instead you access your classroom online, and you can interact with your instructor and classmates with chat, audio and video as you move through the lessons. Everything else remains the same, including the same expert instructor, the same course materials, the same Pink Elephant techniques and strategies. Each session of the ILO course are taught on a specific day and time. You receive Joining Instructions, a Headset, and the course materials in advance, and to participate on the day of the class, all you need is a broadband Internet connection. This allows you to connect to a virtual classroom where you can interact directly with the instructor and your peers.
