DESCRIPTION:Mastering AV Service Management &ndash\; the Operational Manage
 r Certificate Virtual ClassroomChoose from Group 1 or Group 2.The\n MASM\n
      Operational Manager Certificate (MASM-OMC) is packed full of the hard
 \, how-to detail of the skills you need as a manager of a technical workgr
 oup in an AV context. More advanced and complex than Aspiring Manager Cert
 ificate -AMC\,\n    this will describe the very building blocks of your wo
 rkgroup\, its resources\, and the services it must produce. It will indica
 te what to measure and how\, and importantly how to get the best out of yo
 ur technicians by offering improvements to their\n    job satisfaction. Th
 ese are the practicalities of building\, managing\, leading and sustaining
  a successful technical workgroup.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Who should attend?Heads of
  any AV technical workgroup &ndash\; either in-house or as service provide
 r - where tech support resolutions and conducting projects are part of the
  typical workload\, especially where that\n    work comprises interaction 
 with end users and corporate authorities.What you will learn:&nbsp\;Workgr
 oup leadership\, consisting of orchestration of department resources and r
 epresentation of the workgroup to the business\, both as service provider 
 and for dovetailing with shadow IT and vendor-provided escalation routes.E
 mployee management\, including staff development\, setting and monitoring 
 production and productivity expectations\, governing workload variety\, sk
 ills redundancy\, scheduling non-reactive work\, motivation and job satisf
 action.Informed decision-making\, including key performance indicators\, c
 ritical success factors and other statistical analyses to get beyond servi
 ce levels into throughput parameters\; and to match service delivery with 
 customer satisfaction.Lead the department from the front\, to represent it
  according to your vision for its position\, role and standing to its host
  organization\, clients and users.Anticipate demand and orchestrate resour
 ces both within and outside the immediate workgroup to meet that demand in
  accordance with true need and affordability.Orchestrate a workforce and o
 ther resources to ensure the workgroup&rsquo\;s entire workload is appropr
 iately staffed so that nothing gets missed and all priorities are met\, fo
 r both reactive and project work.Identify\, measure\, monitor and act upon
  key performance indicators and use statistical functions against these to
  inform management decisions in correcting and improving service\, not jus
 t after-the-fact (Management Information) but also in real time\n        (
 Decision Support)\; use these to regulate and improve workload throughput 
 as a vital contribution to eventual achieved service-levels.Use a seven-st
 age skillset management program to commoditize technical knowledge so that
  it can be imparted at the appropriate level\; use this to eradicate Singl
 e Points of Failure\, remove bottlenecks\, increase skills redundancy\, in
 crease departmental\n        service versatility\, and replace management 
 technical responsibilities to increase management involvement and quality.
