IT Service Delivery Manager Workshop

Introduction

The role of the Service Delivery Manager has been around for decades. Over this period with changes to technology and the way services are delivered, changing customer relationships and expectations the role has obviously grown in complexity and responsibility. Until now there has been little to no formal training for the Service Delivery Manager. The Service Delivery Manager Workshop was created to fill the needs of SDMs working in a wide range of organisations.

The Service Delivery Manager Workshop is based upon a mixed set of generic SDM roles and responsibilities, which will obviously vary from organisation to organisation. The workshop is suitable for those working in Managed Service Providers with commercial customers and also those working in internal IT teams with internal and external customers, also not for profit organisations.The workshop covers all of the basic SDM skills and competencies plus all of the add-ons.

The workshop can also be tailored for individual organisation needs and run as an on-site course.

At the start of the course our Expert trainer will identify all of the individual learning objectives of the delegates and ensure that they are addressed over the 2 days.

Description

This 2 day facilitated workshop will cover all aspects of IT Service Delivery Management from how to get started to more advanced techniques to address ever growing challenges of ever increasing service complexity, breadth of integration and customer demand.

The workshop will take you from understanding your customers need to actual service delivery and on-going support. We will cover current 'Best Practice' frameworks and methodologies and also key communication and negotiation skills and techniques.
