HDI NYC Metro // Phyllis Drucker | Designing your Service Portal

12 Aug 2026
6:00pm - 7:30pm EDT

Design a Service Portal Your Employees Actually Love
Featuring Phyllis Drucker, HDI Lifetime Achievement Award Winner

 

Phyllis Drucker brings almost 30 years in Business/IT Strategy, enterprise service management, and governance to a topic every IT leader avoids talking about out loud: most Service Portals fail. Not because the tech is bad, but because they were never designed around how employees actually want to get help. This will be web-based so you can join from anywhere!

In this session, Phyllis will break down:

  • Why "holistic support" is more than a buzzword — and what it actually looks like in a portal
  • The lift-and-shift trap: how portals quietly become outdated without anyone deciding that
  • How to modernize your portal by combining today's digital tools with a genuinely human approach to service

You'll leave with a clear-eyed view of why most portals fall short — and what it takes to build one your employees actually want to use.

Who should attend: ITSM practitioners, service desk leaders, portal owners, anyone who's ever heard "I just call the help desk, the portal's useless."
