<p>The two-day <a href="https://usm-portal.com/glossary/usm/?lang=en" target="_blank">USM</a> Foundation training teaches participants how to set up organizational <a href="https://usm-portal.com/glossary/governance/?lang=en" target="_blank">governance</a> in a simple way with no more than 5 processes and 8 workflows. The USM Foundation training is an eye-opener, even for seasoned experts. After a USM training, you will never look at <a href="https://usm-portal.com/glossary/service-management/?lang=en" target="_blank">service management</a> the same way again. The movement for an organizational improvement project to get all noses in the same direction. Those who successfully pass the USM Foundation exam can be included in the USM register.</p>

<p><a href="https://usm-portal.com/glossary/service/?lang=en" target="_blank">Service</a> organizations that want to get their organization in order can use USM, the Unified <a href="https://usm-portal.com/glossary/service-management-method/?lang=en" target="_blank">Service Management method</a>. The USM training deals with the <a href="https://usm-portal.com/glossary/management-system/?lang=en" target="_blank">management system</a> of service providers. With USM the participant learns to make practical choices for <a href="https://usm-portal.com/glossary/managing/?lang=en" target="_blank">managing</a> a service organization. Choices that are now well-founded, and easy to understand, because they are based on a powerful <a href="https://usm-portal.com/glossary/service-management-architecture/?lang=en" target="_blank">service management architecture</a>. This creates insight and rest in the organization, the <a href="https://usm-portal.com/glossary/management/?lang=en" target="_blank">management</a>, and the daily routines. This in turn is a precondition for a structural improvement of the organization&#39;s performance.</p>

<p>Employees learn to understand each other better with USM. Standardization of routines (across multiple disciplines and organizational units) is now within reach and supporting tools are easier and more effective with USM.</p>

<h2>Content</h2>

<p>USM training emphasizes the <a href="https://usm-portal.com/glossary/process/?lang=en" target="_blank">process</a>-driven design of the service organization and its routines, based on the belief that processes are the shortest and most efficient path to the <a href="https://usm-portal.com/glossary/goal/?lang=en" target="_blank">goal</a> relevant to the <a href="https://usm-portal.com/glossary/customer/?lang=en" target="_blank">customer</a>. However, USM goes one step further and focuses entirely on the workflows that ultimately organize the work. Organizations that have a strong focus on hierarchical or project-based routines - or even have based their organizational structure on them - can gain a lot in effectiveness and efficiency with this.</p>

<h2>Target audience</h2>

<p>Service organizations that want to work in a uniform way, according to the latest insights, with an easy-to-learn and logical working <a href="https://usm-portal.com/glossary/method/?lang=en" target="_blank">method</a>.</p>

<p>The USM Foundation training can be used for all&nbsp;<a href="https://usm-portal.com/glossary/facility-service/?lang=en" target="_blank">facility service</a> providers (from ICT to <a href="https://usm-portal.com/glossary/building-management/?lang=en" target="_blank">building management</a>, from human <a href="https://usm-portal.com/glossary/resources/?lang=en" target="_blank">resources</a> to security and cleaning), but is equally applicable to service organizations from the &#39;primary&#39; domain: municipalities, telcos, healthcare institutions, etc. Each USM training course can be tailored to the <a href="https://usm-portal.com/glossary/client/?lang=en" target="_blank">client</a>&#39;s <a href="https://usm-portal.com/glossary/discipline/?lang=en" target="_blank">discipline</a>.</p>

<p>Organizations that strive for Customer Excellence, and want to be able to realize that with their own employees, without excessive dependence on external consultants, can find a paved road to that goal with USM. Participants in the training are both the managers responsible for the organizational improvement project and the employees who must learn to work in an organization that uses the USM method.</p>
