Mr. Rumburg will be presenting "The CSI Imperative – How Successful Support Organizations Institutionalize Continual Service Improvement" and "C-Level Success and the Secret Weapon of Service and Support." In the Strategist track, he will discuss the crucial role that service and support can play in the management and career success of IT executives. And in the Service Management Track, Mr. Rumburg will present case studies of support organizations that have successfully built a culture and discipline of continual service improvement.
"MetricNet's research, gathered from literally thousands of service and support benchmarks, suggests that too often, improvement initiatives are ad-hoc, ill funded, or poorly planned. The all too predictable result is improvement programs that fall far short of expectations," said Jeff Rumburg. "For the Service Management track, I will provide empirical data demonstrating that support organizations with a culture of continual service improvement substantially outperform their industry peers."
Those interested in hearing Mr. Rumburg speak on C-Level Success should attend Session 309 on Wednesday, November 2, 2016 at 3:00pm, and those interested in hearing Mr. Rumburg speak on The CSI Imperative should attend Session 704 on Friday, November 4, 2016 at 9:00am. All those involved in the delivery and support of IT services, and the fundamental concepts behind service management, are encouraged to attend. This includes C-level executives, IT directors, Service Desk and Desktop Support Managers, and supervisors.
Mr. Rumburg is the winner of the 2014 Ron Muns Lifetime Achievement Award, and has served on HDI's Strategic Advisory Board. He is co-founder and Managing Partner of MetricNet, LLC, where he is responsible for global strategy, product development, and client engagement delivery. As a leading expert in benchmarking and re-engineering, Mr. Rumburg authored a best-selling book on benchmarking, and has been retained as a benchmarking expert by such well-known companies as American Express, Hewlett- Packard, General Motors, and IBM.
