A 12-Step Program for Your Staff When Supporting Your Users Becomes a Co-Dependent Nightmare

Christopher Dancy of ServiceSphere will lead us through the process to see how quickly organizations can go from taking calls to obeying demands, and how this disturbing trend can be set straight!
 
A "co-dependent" is one side of a relationship between mutually needy people. To help "fix" the support function in organizations, bandaids like, ITIL, Six Sigma, new staff or even new software are often deployed. This usually leads to more confusion and frustration on the part of the support staff and customers. During this topic we will look at the 12 signs of trouble. For instance, "Do as we say, Not as we do", "Death By Metrics" and "Category Other"! Finally we will reveal the 12 signs of enlightenment. Of course the first step is to admit that we might have a problem.
