The Service Desk of the Future
Donna Knapp, ITSM Academy
Every aspect of the service desk has changed in recent years: people, processes, and technology; the use of data, information, and knowledge; and, perhaps most dramatically, users. Today's technology users are increasingly savvy and self-sufficient. In this session, we explore the strategies companies are using to address trends like social support, mobile support, self-service and self-help, BYOD, and cloud computing.
Attendees will also participate in a debate about the role of the service desk in the future and walk away with a checklist of considerations to consult when developing future-state road map for their own service desks.

 Since 2004, the ITSM Academy team has been sponsoring and attending the itSMF/HDI Fusion conferences. This year, we are doing something different - we will not be behind a booth but rather we will be in the trenches, engaging as presenters and attendees. We feel it is equally important for us to share and update our knowledge through sessions, discussions and engaging conversations...

Everyone Enjoys ITSM Academy Webinars!
|
We have had some great attendance at our webinars, but at our last webinar DevOps and
 the IT Culture Cocktail Party, one of our favorite alumni brought a very special guest! Look closely at the bottom right hand corner of the photo....We are happy we are able to reach such a large and diverse audience. |
Customer Service Week 2013 | It's one of our favorite times of year...time for us to get 'United through Service,' which is this year's theme for National Customer Service Week, according to the International Customer Service Association.
National Customer Service Week (NCSW), held October 7-11 in 2013, 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 staff on the needs of their customers. In IT, a common misconception is that the Service Desk is responsible for customer satisfaction because of its role as single point of contact. However, every team in IT is part of the value network that, in the end, creates value for customers.
Check out our Public Class Schedule, to find an opportunity for training for your organizations! Happy Customer Service Week!
