Change Control - Help Desk - Service Requests Blog - Personal Web Site - Sensitive Information

When a system defect or workplace disruption hits, you need to act fast to ensure the enterprise can continue to function, your employees and associates are informed and productivity is maintained. And where better to designate the first responder than your service - help desk with a focus on IT Service Management (ITSM).

KPI metrics have taken off as measurement of the quality of IT's service has become a priority. Currently, 67% of all organizations have implemented the KPI approach. In a survey of 205 organizations that have these metrics in place, we found that user perception is the top metric that most are focused on.

Service Requests and Help Desk Support are drives of user perception

The positive implications of change control management are:

  • CIOs and enterprise executives demonstrate their own and the organization's commitment to managing all of the processes around solutions being implemented.
  • Employees gain a solid understanding of why a change is being implemented.
  • Everyone engages in the solution being implemented.
  • Training is used to build knowledge in the implication of the change being implemented.
  • Resistance is identified and dealt with early in the process.
  • Communications are segmented and customized for each audience, answering the questions that they care about.
  • Momentum is built throughout different areas and levels within the enterprise.
  • Changes are less painful to the organization and to the employees.
  • A coalition of support among senior leaders and managers creates momentum throughout the organization.
  • Probability of meeting project objectives is increased.
  • The enterprise builds a history of successful change.

The study reported:

  • Business Unit users were not as happy with IT performance in the past year
  • Companies were not as responsive and supportive as in prior years
  • Fewer support functions reported KPI metrics related to SLAs to business units
  • Access to the help desk and service functions was more difficult
  • The quality and speed of responses did not meet expectations
  • There was less proactive problem-solving. More of the help desk and service functions are structured around per-defined "scripts. Many of these functions are off-shore and support staff have poor US English skills".
  • Less service-oriented training was conducted
  • ROI was not calculated for many of the changes requested.

On the bright side, more Business Units are aware of the tools available, and more organizations had recently defined SLAs by their business units.
