No service can succeed in isolation, which is why collaboration is essential in ITIL’s framework. In this episode, we’ll examine the guiding principle “Collaborate and Promote Visibility,” which emphasizes teamwork, communication, and openness as the drivers of success. Collaboration ensures that diverse perspectives are included in decision-making, preventing blind spots and reducing risks. Promoting visibility means making information accessible so teams understand progress, challenges, and goals. This transparency builds trust, aligns stakeholders, and allows for quicker and more informed responses. Without collaboration and visibility, even the most well-designed services can falter due to miscommunication or hidden obstacles.

We’ll also highlight how this principle applies in practice, such as project dashboards that track work openly, cross-functional meetings that break down silos, and regular feedback loops that include both customers and providers. Exam questions may test your ability to recognize when lack of visibility causes service failures, so keep this principle in mind as both a practical tool and a theoretical anchor.
