Service design is a crucial phase in the ITIL framework as it revolves around the design of new services or the changes and improvements to existing ones. This phase ensures that the service will meet the current and future needs of the organization. It also includes the design of the service architecture, processes, policies, documentation, and the service portfolio. The goal of course is to design services that are efficient, reliable, and fit for purpose, aligning with the business's strategic objectives.

The Service Design Package is a comprehensive document that captures all the necessary information to design, transition, and operate a new or modified service. It includes details about service requirements, design specifications, and any other relevant information.

The true purpose of the ITIL Service Development Framework is much more than to improve operational efficiencies and measured outcomes (though all important). The ultimate purpose is to bring value to the service improvements and to the organization that is being supported. For example, a digital transformation, no matter how well designed, means nothing if there is not a real value for those that must adopt the changes and, for the organization that must absorb the cost of it all.
