#15NTC NTEN Help Desk or Service Desk? (Align Nonprofit Technology)Steve Heye
We all know the traditional meaning behind an IT Help Desk: something breaks, you call, we fix. Moving to an IT Service Desk can add further meaning: we also work with you on the goal. But, with both of these, we still have a problem. IT has to wait for the organization to have a specific request to react to, we become a store where the customer is always right. Well guess what? The customer in this case is not always right, and IT should not be managed in a way that forces it to only fill requests and fix things. We will talk about how to manage a help desk while still allowing IT to be a partner to the organization.
