November 3, 2016 6:30pm PST Webinar: Improved Service Management through Sharing Knowledge

November 3, 2016 6:30pm PST Improved Service Management through Sharing Knowledge 


Free Webinar from the convenience of home, office pc, or Smart Phone
Zoom Conference Webinar  https://zoom.us/j/942340936

Knowledge is Power both in life and in provisioning of IT services.  From the IT Service Management (ITSM) point of view we must ask ourselves this question: how can we leverage the available information (aka: knowledge) to achieve service delivery efficiency? 

If used and applied correctly the ITSM Knowledge Management (KM) process can be a means of achieving improved customer service experience, empowered response and resolution times, and streamlined operational and service delivery.    This discussion will cover the high level approach to Knowledge Management, and some areas that may not be in the ITIL books that can help make the best use of the "people, process, and technology" for a more effective KM program.
