Which of the following is one of the primary objectives of Service Strategy?

Designing and building processes to meet business needs is the primary concern of the Service Design lifecycle stage, not Service Strategy.

Service Strategy sets the foundational direction and detailed specifications for IT services, ensuring that every service aligns to business outcomes before it enters later lifecycle stages. By producing these specifications, Service Strategy gives Service Design and subsequent stages clear, business-validated targets to design and build against, making it a prerequisite output of the strategy phase.

Transforming Service Management into a strategic asset describes a broad aspirational outcome of applying ITIL as a whole, rather than a specific defined primary objective of the Service Strategy lifecycle stage.

Underscoring the importance of services in the global economy is a general philosophical statement and is not listed as a primary objective within the ITIL Service Strategy lifecycle stage.
