Help Desk Metrics, Analytics and Reporting (RCCSP ™ Service Engineering Series) 3-day training class, $2,395

Overview

This training course on help desk performance management introduces attendees to the mathematical and statistical bases for high-performance help desk re-engineering.  The course is taught by James Abbott, the industrial and service engineer who literally wrote the book on the subject: The Executive Guide to Help Desk Metrics, the most widely read book on the subject.. Help Desk Metrics, Analytics and Reporting is like no other course you have ever attended.  

The discipline of performance management through metrics goes far beyond Erlang and traffic formulas, KPI's, and costing metrics that report acceptable or unacceptable results. Call center engineering is a process of constructing metrics that identify the causes of problems and generate mathematical solutions you can implement to change the results. Attend this training course and learn how to use metrics to engineer solutions for your help desk.

What Past Attendees Say About the Course

"The instructor gave great explanations and examples [of the formulas] to clarify how to apply them to a real-life situation. [He] taught the practical application of statistics, which I found very useful."—Stacey Love, The Hartford Insurance Group, Hartford Connecticut

"Outstanding class! I appreciated the quality of the materials and the instruction. I particularly valued the caliber of the instructor and his ability to answer questions and convey complex concepts. Going over examples and applying concepts specific to my business was helpful as well."

"When I first sought out classes on call center management and metrics, I thought that I needed to focus on theories and concepts... of course such an approach can become quickly outdated. The approach of this class, however, provided tools that will not become obsolete and will afford not only initial, but ongoing assessment of operations. I [see] the lasting value of [my] investment!"—Patricia Scott, Northside Hospital, Atlanta, Georgia

"Excellent! A good guide for me to know where to get started and how to go about it."—Laurie McIntyre, Hydro One Networks, INC. Toronto, Ontario
