Why are public frameworks, such as ITIL, attractive when compared to proprietary knowledge?
- A.
Proprietary Knowledge may be difficult to adopt, replicate or transfer since it is often undocumented
- B.
Public standards are always cheaper to adopt
- C.
Public frameworks are prescriptive and tell you exactly what to do

Public frameworks, such as ITIL, are attractive when compared to proprietary knowledge because proprietary knowledge may be difficult to adopt, replicate, or transfer since it is often undocumented. This means that it may be challenging for organizations to learn and implement proprietary knowledge effectively. In contrast, public frameworks provide documented and standardized processes that are easier to understand and apply. This makes it more convenient for organizations to adopt and replicate these frameworks, leading to greater efficiency and effectiveness in their operations.Rate this question:
