Dispatches From Afar: Building and Managing a Distributed Desktop TeamHDI Orange County
In companies with offices in multiple geographic locations, it's the nature of desktop support to work in and manage teams that are widely scattered. Ten years ago, companies had the budget and resources to bring people together for training and team building, but in the current climate of reduced staff levels and nonexistent travel budgets, how do you build and maintain an effective distributed desktop support team?
This presentation talks about:
- The essential technical and nontechnical elements for building a cohesive distributed desktop support team
- Ways of effectively leveraging communication technologies to strengthen a distributed desktop support team
- Characteristics to look for when staffing a distributed desktop support team
- The five essentials of a distributed desktop support team
- Tips to follow and pitfalls to avoid when building a distributed desktop support team.
Mary Cruse's preso to HDI Orange County on 1/11/12.
"Do we do less because a customer is "just an employee"? Of course not. The IT infrastructure is critical to the business, and successful support is critical. This session will cover the link between IT support and the customer experience, the development of a culture that supports a positive customer experience, and the creation of a business plan that supports your efforts with the executive team."
Are your teams in FLOW?
What is the level of trust between team members and leaders?
Are innovation, productivity and profits up or stagnant?
These are questions being asked in today’s workplace as companies are challenged to do more with less and leaders look for ways to engage and re-engage their teams. Getting members of a team into flow is just the starting point. Once team members understand their own, and others’, strengths and weaknesses, the team dynamic develops levels of trust, understanding and job satisfaction that are the basis for stratospheric team performance.
There are many assessments such as Myers-Briggs, Strength Finders, DISC and others that identify individual personality types, preferred ways of being and strengths. These tools have been great standards to build knowledge and some understanding of how individuals may show up at any given time. What if in addition to this understanding, this knowledge was integrated into a strategy designed to create flow.
Now more than ever, IT is expected to take customer satisfaction to higher levels, while keeping costs down. Enter the Service Catalog. Implementing a service catalog will not only improve the relationship between customers and IT, it can also help IT better align with the needs of the business.
During this session we’ll explore:
• What is a Service Catalog
• How a Service Catalog can improve the relationship between IT and customers
• How a Service Catalog can help IT align with the business
• Key considerations for a successful Service Catalog implementation
Benefiting from a Quality Problem Management ProgramHDI Orange County
IT can have immediate benefits throughout the service and support organization, yet many organizations still struggle with creating / maintaining an effective Problem Management process and group. Pete’s presentation covers:
1.The discipline of creating relevant categorization / taxonomy (incident typing / grouping)
2.Formal and preferred Root Cause Analysis methodologies
3.Integrating Problem / Change management to execute the recommendation / long-term solution.
4.Continuous measuring / reporting / marketing of the ‘actual’ eliminated calls
5.Best practices of ‘getting into the detail’ and what to ‘Get out of the detail’
The widespread popularity of ITIL has resulted in unprecedented levels of adoption globally. ITIL V3 has been with us for almost 2 years, yet there has been very little information available about its uptake... until now! Commissioned by Hornbill, “ITIL – The State of the Nation” was the first international survey of its kind. Using research from over 500 organizations, this session answers many of the questions practitioners have been asking. If you are considering adopting ITIL, contemplating upgrading from v2 to v3, or wish to benchmark your maturity levels against other adopters, this session is not to be missed.
Ever had one of “those days” where you left the office two hours after quitting time and still had not checked one thing off your Task List for the day? We all have. Come discover how you can begin your journey to “Better Days thru Better Ways.” Presented at HDI Orange County by Donna Holt on 4/7/2010.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.
