|  The Service Desk and Mark Twain: Some meaningful insight from our guest blogger, Donna Knapp
Upon hearing that his obituary had mistakenly been published in the New York Journal, Mark Twain is famously quoted as saying "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated."
The same can be said for the service desk despite the blogs here and there that are suggesting that factors such as social support, self-help, bring your own device (BYOD), virtualization, cloud computing and wide-scale outsourcing are minimizing the service desk's role...

Apollo 11
|
Here at the Academy, we are always taking about Apollo 13, as it's
the mission that the Apollo 13 - An ITSM Case Experience (Simulation), is based.
But we found this interesting article about the Apollo 11 team, and thought we would share... Apparently, the Apollo 11's Astronauts received an $8 Per Diem for the Mission to the Moon...with deductions for the "accommodation" provided by the spaceship.
The astronauts of Apollo 11: Intrepid explorers. Inspirational heroes. Government employees. Read More

National Customer Service Week |
This year NCSW is October 1-5, 2012
Always the first week in October, National Customer Service Week (NCSW) is designed to raise awareness of customer service and the vital role it plays within an organization. It is also an opportunity to say thank you to those who work in customer service for a job well done. Organizations take part in NCSW by hosting events in their workplace. These events can be large or small, serious or fun, they can be held all through the week or just on one day.... It's up to each organization to decide how to celebrate.
Many organizations use this week as an opportunity to provide training and refocus the efforts of their Service Desk staff. Two of our workshops are perennial favorites for NCSW:
