Jeff Rumburg of MetricNet to Facilitate HDI's Inaugural Metrics Workshop

McLean, VA, February 13, 2018 (Newswire.com) - ​Jeff Rumburg, Managing Partner of MetricNet, LLC, was chosen to facilitate Succeeding with Metrics, a new interactive, consultative HDI Training Workshop. Mr. Rumburg will share his knowledge and expertise in metrics for IT service and support at various locations across the United States this year. The goal of the new workshop is to empower service and support professionals to leverage metrics in their pursuit of continuous service improvement.

“The HDI Metrics Workshop fills an obvious void in the marketplace. Too often, metrics are used for reporting purposes only. But this observational approach to metrics greatly limits their value.” said Jeff Rumburg. “The true potential of service and support KPIs can only be realized when they are used diagnostically and prescriptively. By interpreting the KPIs of service and support, and then acting to mitigate or eliminate negative performance gaps, progressive support organizations can realize the promise of continuous service improvement.”

The HDI Metrics Workshop fills an obvious void in the marketplace.

·         HDI Annual Conference in Las Vegas, NV: April 9-10

·         HDI Training Experience in Philadelphia, PA: July 23-24

·         HDI Training Experience in Kansas City, MO: September 17-18

·         Service Management World in Orlando, FL: October 15-17
