The Desktop Support Balanced Scorecard

Step 1

Eight critical

performance

metrics have been

selected for the

scorecard

Step 2

Each metric has been

weighted according to its

relative importance

Step 3

For each performance metric,

the highest and lowest

performance levels in the

benchmark are recorded

Step 4

Your actual

performance for

each metric is

recorded in this

column

Step 5

Your score for each

metric is then

calculated: (worst case

– actual performance) /

(worst case – best

case) X 100

Step 6

Your balanced score for each

metric is calculated: metric

score X weighting

Key SPOC Principles

Key SPOC Principles

Enterprise takes an end-to-end view of user

support

User/Customer has a single point of contact

for all IT-related incidents, questions,

problems, and work requests

The Level 1 Service Desk is the SPOC

Level 1 is responsible for:

Ticket triage

Resolution at Level 1 if possible

Effective handoffs to n level support

Resolution coordination and facilitation

Ticket closure

Desktop “Drive-bys”, “Fly-bys”, and “Snags”

are strongly discouraged

The percentage of tickets resolved by desktop support that could

have been resolved at level 1 support.

First Level Resolution Rate (FLR)

The number of tickets resolved at level 1 divided by all tickets that

can potentially be resolved at level 1.

Driving Individual Accountability: The Technician Scorecard

Step 1

Eight critical

performance

metrics have been

selected for the

scorecard

Step 2

Each metric has been

weighted according to its

relative importance

Step 3

For each performance metric,

the highest and lowest

performance levels in the

benchmark are recorded

Step 4

Your actual

performance for

each metric is

recorded in this

column

Step 5

Your score for each

metric is then

calculated: (worst case

– actual performance) /

(worst case –best case)

X 100

Step 6

Your balanced score for each

metric is calculated: metric

score X weighting

The Paradox of IT Support

Less than 5% of all IT spending is

allocated to end-user support

Service desk, desktop support,

field support

This leads many to erroneously

assume that there is little upside

opportunity in IT support

The result is that most support

organizations are managed with the

goal of minimizing costs

But the most effective support

strategies focus on maximizing

value

What We Learned from Benchmark 2014

Desktop Support is now being managed as a strategic asset within the

enterprise

One that can reduce the overall cost of IT

Dramatically improve the productivity of end-users

And drive a positive view of IT

World-Class Desktop Support organizations have a number of success

factors in common

1. Part of an end-to-end support process

2. An understanding of the economics of TCO for user support

3. Active efforts to maximize First Contact, and First Level resolution rates

4. Use performance metrics diagnostically and prescriptively

5. Invest in technician training, coaching, and career pathing

6. Have active internal marketing efforts

7. And aggressively promote and communicate the value delivered by

Desktop Support
