COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Feb. 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HDI, the leading membership association and certification body for service and support professionals, announces the launch of the all new “Succeeding with Metrics” workshop led by Jeff Rumburg, co-founder and Managing Partner of MetricNet LLC, which will launch at HDI 2018 Conference & Expo. This workshop aims to address the lack of strategic use of metrics within an organization by teaching attendees how to harness and leverage the true potential of metrics for individual, team and organizational performance.

“While 93% of organizations measure a range of metrics, they may not fully understand how metrics impact the service and support center overall and how to utilize metrics to show value,” said Fancy Mills, Group Training and Content Director, HDI. “The ‘Succeeding with Metrics’ workshop is designed to help organizations understand their key performance indicators and metrics while having an industry expert help put together a plan of action for how to improve.”
Even with more than 90% of organizations measuring metrics - such as average speed of answer, customer satisfaction and abandonment rates - many fail to effectively interpret this data to improve operational performance. According to recent research, more than half of IT service and support organizations reported an increase in ticket volume in 2017. With more customers contacting service and support centers, it’s important for organizations to apply their performance metrics to identify strengths and improve upon weaknesses.
To help ensure organizations are effectively measuring performance, HDI has partnered with Jeff Rumburg of MetricNet LLC to launch the new “Succeeding with Metrics” workshop. In this dynamic training, Rumburg will teach attendees how to utilize their metrics while supplying tools to develop an action plan that yields sustainable, measurable performance gains. Participants will walk away with proven strategies to track trend and performance over time, diagnose and understand the underlying drivers of performance gaps, establish individual and organizational performance goals and much more.
In addition to HDI 2018 Conference & Expo, the “Succeeding with Metrics” workshop will be offered at:
- HDI Training Experience: July 23-24, 2018 in Philadelphia, PA
- HDI Training Experience: September 17-18, 2018 in Kansas City, MO
- Service Management World: October 14-15 in Orlando, FL
HDI 2018 Conference & Expo will take place April 10–13, 2018 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV. For more information and to register, visit: HDIConference.com.
