Jeff Rumburg, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of MetricNet, presented Session 407, ‘The Diagnostic Power Of Metrics’, at the Annual HDI Conference in Orlando, FL on Thursday April 14. The standing room only crowd was captivated as Mr. Rumburg shared a series of illustrative case studies that demonstrated the diagnostic power of metrics.

“The old saying “You can’t manage what you don’t measure” is particularly true in service and support, where effective performance measurement is a prerequisite for effective decision making.” said Jeff Rumburg. “Despite their importance, most managers are unaware of the critical role – beyond mere measurement – that metrics can and should play in service and support.”

The key to using KPIs diagnostically is to understand their cause-and-effect relationships.
