==Process Description==

[[Image:Itil-definition-csi-initiatives.jpg|right|thumb|500px|alt=Definition of Improvement Initiatives ITIL|link=https://wiki.en.it-processmaps.com/index.php/File:Itil-definition-csi-initiatives.jpg|[https://wiki.en.it-processmaps.com/images/pdf/process_overview_definition_improvement_initiatives_itilv3.pdf ITIL Definition of CSI Initiatives (.pdf)]]]

A key change between ITIL V2 and ITIL V3 has been a new focus on continually improving services and processes. ITIL V3 introduced specific processes for service and process evaluation and improvement.

In ITIL 2011, the ''CSI Register'' has been introduced as a central document or database where all improvement opportunities and initiatives are recorded. As a result, one of the main outputs from CSI now is the [[Definition of Improvement Initiatives#SIP|CSI Register]] - instead of the ''Service Improvement Plan (SIP)'' as per ITIL V3 (2007). SIPs now take a much less prominent role as in ITIL 2007 (SIPs may still be used as plans to implement improvements to individual services or processes). 

To reflect the new structure of Service Strategy processes in ITIL 2011 the interfaces of the process have been adapted. The process overview of [[Media:Itil-definition-csi-initiatives.jpg|ITIL Definition of CSI Initiatives (.JPG)]] shows the key information flows (see fig. 1).

[[ITIL 4]] describes these key activities in the [[ITIL_4#General_management_practices|general management practice]] of "Continual improvement".
