About Pink Elephant Company History Pink Elephant started life some 30 years ago in Delft University in the Netherlands. A beer and peanuts company managed and staffed by students during their spare time while studying for their degree. We have come a long way since then, and now you can find us in lots of different locations throughout the world. For our global clients that means consistent services wherever they re located, whether that s Sao Paulo, Shanghai or Stevenage. A defining moment in the story of Pink Elephant was our establishment of the UK operating company in 1991 to support our involvement and contribution to the development of UK Government s initiative: the IT Infrastructure Library. Not only did we contribute to the writing of the books, we developed and delivered the very first ITIL training courses, we were also first to develop services around the library notably the application of CMM for the assessment of processes, and the use of the Kotter model for Service Management change programmes.
