HDI has announced its speaker lineup for the 2018 annual conference and expo in Las Vegas, Nevada. MetricNet is pleased to announce that Jeff Rumburg, Managing Partner of MetricNet has been invited to present in two major tracks at the conference, including “Putting Metrics To Work” and “Service Desk Masters.” This marks the 24th consecutive year that Mr. Rumburg has been selected as a speaker for the HDI Conference & Expo. For those interested in attending, HDI 2018 is happening April 10-13 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Mr. Rumburg will be presenting “Leveraging Metrics to Take Southwest Airlines to a Higher Plane – A Case Study” and “The Enterprise Service Desk – The Greatest Opportunity in a Generation!” In the Putting Metrics To Work track, he will discuss how Southwest Airlines leveraged metrics to close performance gaps and achieve world-class performance. And in the Service Desk Masters Track, Mr. Rumburg will present a leadership model for IT to expand the reach of service management to non-IT enterprise services such as HR, facilities, and regulatory compliance.

“Much of what is known about IT Service Management has been gained incrementally, through years of trial-and-error. But ITSM is now a relatively mature discipline that can provide a roadmap for other, non-IT services,” said Jeff Rumburg. “In the Service Desk Masters track, I will discuss how these enterprise services, in turn, have an opportunity to bypass decades of trial-and-error evolution by building upon the experience and proven success factors of IT Service Management.”
