If a genie were to grant you three wishes, what would you wish for?
For me personally, my wish would be to add additional hours to the day. In this current era, we are multitasking on many different levels which is a great thing. However, we all know what happens when we spread ourselves too thin - quality diminishes. This, for me personally, also brings an increase in stress and anxiety.
When I spread myself too thin, I look to the professionals in their respective trades. There are some tasks or projects that I am capable of delivering, albeit at a much slower pace, and of less quality potentially than the true professionals. By leaning on the professionals to do what they do best, I can not only free up time on my calendar, but I also gain the ability to free up some mental space. In turn, I can be more focused on the tasks that I personally need to take care of (or in my mind, focus on training for my next Ironman race).
This reasoning and rationale was a key driver for us at The Anti when we were developing our Advisory and Managed Services (AMS) practice. We want to enable our customers and their respective IT/HR teams to get out of the business of the day-to-day tasks around the ServiceNow platform management as a whole. This shift in responsibilities allows the teams to truly focus on the higher level, strategic initiatives that may be on the roadmap. We, at The Anti, call this Run Support. Our team assists in user/group management, further supplementing HR Service Delivery and HRIT System Admins. Within the area, the team also assists in upgrade support, overall platform health (reviewing and resolving potential performance issues), and instant support to address defects that may be having an immediate impact on the business.
Coupling Run Support with the other two key pillars of our Advisory and Managed Services (AMS) offering, Success Foundations and Demand Management, can further compound the “freeing up” of internal resources at your company. The Anti can help stabilize and improve your current ServiceNow HRSD platform through the deployment of various skills, such as:
Providing product and platform consulting services to ensure the realization of ServiceNow investments
Project planning
Assessing your current teams’ skill sets within the platform
Providing recommendations on team trainings
Assessing value through reporting and dashboards
Providing enhancement recommendations to further augment the employee experience and operational efficiencies
Furthermore, our team provides demand management support to your company by way of managing enhancements and upgrades through our demand management process. These enhancements can be around foundational features (such as Case and Knowledge, HR Services, HR Integrations, Lifecycle events, Employee Center Pro, and more) or more advanced features (such as HR Agent Workspace, EC Pro Upgrades, Universal Request/Universal Task, Employee Document Management, Virtual Agent, and more).
With these offerings available to you and your organization, I ask you this: what would you and your team do with an additional 4 hours in the day?
