WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 2 SERVICENOW WORLD IN CHICAGO
I am excited about ServiceNow World Forum for so many reasons. We have watched ServiceNow take flight in enabling smart, simple, logical solutions to really big business, government and world issues. For many of us, this will be the first large post pandemic globally oriented service management event.
I am excited with recent work with JIT, an Elite ServiceNow partner, with a winning model of caring for solutions, people and processes that move business forward to recognize value from the ServiceNow solutions they employ.
I recently caught up with Chicago ITSMF (IT Service Management Forum) President and Service Management thought leader, Charles Levy, on how Chicago can create a resilient Community of Best Practice that continues the thought leadership, essential partnerships, and platform agnostic approach to scalable business in challenging times.
POST PANDEMIC, EMERGING RECESSION BUSINESS IMPACT:
Business still is adapting to post pandemic business challenges.
- Identify strategy for digital transformation for hybrid, remote and brick and mortar service management workforce.
- Inflation impacts on delivery of goods, services and support affecting their bottom line, cost of services, layoffs due to cost issues, and governance, policy and support for the blended workforce.
- Attracting and Retaining Top Talent work, the great resignation saw over 4.5 Million Workers left their jobs,. The sheer volume strains HR Onboarding and Leaving the Company Processes. Exponential demand for scalable digital transformation of reliable knowledge and workflows to enable right people, system and support model keep working towards the bottom line with a loyal, lasting brand connection.
POST PANDEMIC CHANGING EMPLOYEE VALUES:
The Pandemic, Recession, health and life balance issues, have people redefining their careers and work. The Recession has given way to Quiet Quitting as workers choose to manage their career we note an mindset paradigm:
People want to feel valued for the work they do. 52% of “quiet quitting” results from feeling the company culture or management simply didn’t value their hardwork, so they resized their engagement and loyalty or entertaining more attractive company culture. McKinsey found of employees surveyed:
- 35% wanted more caring leaders
- 35% felt they were working too hard. They wanted sustainable work expectations
- 35% cited feeling unfulfilled with a lack of career development and advancement potential
Post Pandemic health, financial, and family care impacts created new values around
- Mental Health support due to the challenging times putting strain on work and life balance.
- Healthcare and Welfare benefits that helps support themselves and their families.
- Job Security: The Great Resignation was about Employees seeking a better life work balance. Today those that left long term jobs for higher paying or better life balance, now fear the next wave of Recession Layoffs will impact them.
I DEFINE SUCCESS IN CONNECTED CARING!!
My career has been so enriched with professional growth. Much of that came from overcoming challenging times. I am fortunate to love my work and enjoy the people I work with. Helping other companies improve process, advance technologies, and retain jobs, keeps businesses resilient, keeps our country, and our world connected, caring and thriving.
- The Global HR and Recruiting Professionals network emerged from the ashes of 911 to help HR Professionals deal with the challenges supporting staff and business issues following loss of life, military deployed staff, and layoffs. We shared resources and ideas on the unique challenges of the worst terror event in our nation, in my lifetime.
- The Jobs N Careers Success Network united Talent with Recruiters, Hiring Managers who were hiring and providing support for laid off jobseekers due to post 911. Many Job Seekers who found work, then shared the job leads with OTHERS in the network putting OTHERS to work! This is how we do it!
Encouraging and inspiring one another and BEING where WORK IS happening, where JOBS are shared, and RECRUITERS ARE hiring, helps stay connected to HOPE!
- The COVID Pandemic was next in wave. The Business and Talent Networks created in Crisis continue to serve as a network for ideas and opportunities. Service Management was a big product of the Pandemic. I was working in an “essential” ServiceNow role, deploying ITSM Optimization, while the COVID pandemic created unprecidented impact in the Food Supply Chain Industry. In 90 days, we optimized ITSM Processes for Change, Incident, Knowledge, and Major Incident Management, while actually accelerating implementations with situational training on how to identify, communicate across Business Units, and partner in new ways to establish Health, Safety, Security, and Supply Chain Work, that HAD executive orders to keep open to keep feeding the community.
- Traditional “brick and mortar operations” had to have cross business meetings with HR, Security, IT, and Supply Chain, to handle sudden succession planning, new major incident and crisis management.
- The best practices communities of IT Service Management Forum (ITSMF) and HDI can provide ideas to advance technology harness the power of AI, Virtual Chat, and Now Features that help come to terms with post pandemic demands for acceleration, innovation, and automation.
WHAT CAN WE DO TOGETHER TO CREATE A BETTER EXPERIENCE?
