INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev., May 24, 2022 (Newswire.com) – Jeff Rumburg, co-founder and Managing Partner of MetricNet, presented Session 302: “ITIL Hacks That Work! Fast-Track Your Way to ITIL Maturity” on May 18, and Session 602: “Tapping the Potential of Self-Service: Success Factors from the Overachievers!” on May 19, at the Support World Live Conference in Las Vegas. This marks the 32nd consecutive year Mr. Rumburg has been selected as a speaker for the Support World Conference & Expo. In Session 302, Mr. Rumburg shared two case studies that illustrate how successful support organizations are taking a very nontraditional approach to ITIL. Mr. Rumburg uses the phrase ‘hacking ITIL’ to describe how ITIL success can be achieved at a fraction of the time and cost of the traditional approach. And in Session 602, he discussed the reasons why self-service often falls short of expectations, and shared case studies to illustrate how self-service adoption and resolution rates of up to 35% are possible by following best practices. “ITIL 4 was rolled out in February of 2019, and with 34 practices, it was even more complex than ITIL 3, which was comprised of 26 processes. Particularly with the advent of ITIL 4, benchmarking data proved that many in the service and support industry were taking a radically different approach when it came to ITIL,” said Jeff Rumburg. “Instead of doggedly pursuing training, certification, and maturation, and then waiting years to see any measurable results, they decided instead to hack ITIL, and fast-track their way to success in problem, incident, and knowledge management. These innovative organizations are seeing results in days and weeks, not months and years.” Those interested in these presentations can find the slide decks on MetricNet’s website. Mr. Rumburg also facilitated ‘Succeeding with Metrics’, an interactive, consultative HDI Training Workshop. Mr. Rumburg is the winner of the Ron Muns Lifetime Achievement Award, was named to HDI’s Top 25 Thought Leaders list for five years 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.
