MetricNet, LLC has just launched “The One Year Path to World-Class Performance”, the industry’s first continuous improvement initiative designed exclusively for Service Desks and Desktop Support organizations who aspire to achieve world-class performance. “MetricNet’s One Year Path to World-Class Performance was developed based on industry demand and hundreds of client requests,” said Jeff Rumburg, Managing Partner of MetricNet. “This offering is the first of its kind for IT service and support professionals, and is just another example of how MetricNet is constantly striving to meet the needs of the marketplace. Clients who participate in the program are guaranteed to achieve world-class performance in their service desk or desktop support organization within one year.” To ensure World-Class performance can be achieved in just one year, MetricNet’s new continuous improvement solution includes three distinct components. First, a performance baseline is established and improvement opportunities are identified with an initial benchmark and ROI calculation. Next, a MetricNet engagement manager will develop and facilitate a rigorous improvement phase which lasts between six and nine months. During this time, MetricNet’s engagement manager works with the client to implement recommendations, standardize performance reports, and realize measurable performance gains. Approximately one year after the initial benchmark, MetricNet conducts a second benchmark and ROI calculation to solidify performance gains, to objectively demonstrate the progress since the start of the initiative, and to substantiate that the client has indeed achieved world-class performance. “The power of benchmarking is that it enables IT support organizations to save enormous amounts of time and energy by building upon the know how of the industry’s world-class performers,” said Rumburg. Those interested in learning more about The One Year Path to World-Class Performance can download a full summary from MetricNet’s website. Mr. Rumburg is this year’s winner of the prestigious Ron Muns Lifetime Achievement Award for IT service and support. He currently serves on HDI’s Strategic Advisory Board and has been retained as a service desk and desktop support expert by some of the world’s largest corporations, including American Express, Hewlett-Packard, General Motors, and IBM.
