How can partners and suppliers support the service desk practice?
A . By providing change enablement tools
B . By providing trained resources to work in service desk teams
C . By outsourcing the development of II services
D . By providing consultancy on how to customize the IT services

Answer: B

Explanation:

The service desk practice in ITIL 4 is the single point of contact between the service provider and the users, focusing on incident resolution and service request management. Partners and suppliers can support this practice by providing trained resources to work in service desk teams. This aligns with the “Partners and Suppliers” dimension of service management, which emphasizes that external organizations can supply expertise, resources, or technology that help the service provider meet its objectives.

ITIL encourages collaboration with external partners when the internal organization lacks the necessary resources or expertise. Providing trained resources enhances the service desk’s ability to efficiently resolve incidents and handle requests, ensuring continuity and service quality.

Other options, such as providing change enablement tools or outsourcing IT services, do not directly support the service desk in its role of handling incidents and requests.
