So far the chipmunk whisperer role hasn't been fully documented, and it would fall under the generic role specification of the Service Desk manager. Which is me, by the way. I'm training another person, but so far the results have not been extremely satisfying. It's difficult to correlate this person's intervention to the fact that two chipmunks have started taking longer nut breaks, but I don't have enough data yet to provide proper trend analysis.
I've gone onto several chipmunk forums, but couldn't get some proper advice on developing a syllabus to chipmunk whispering -- I usually got questions back along the lines of: what type of chipmunk? Tamias alpinus or tamias amoenus? How much time and effort can you put into training chipmunks? Is your organization sponsoring the whole human to chipmunk migration? Why don't you get in touch with a chipmunk consulting firm? etc.
Maybe the people who employ dogs could provide more real-life experiences, since dog trainer is an actual job. But small animals to staff service desk is really new, so only time will tell.
Then, it could be acknowledged as a best practice, be adopted across all of industry and be included in a set of good practices.

Diarmid's suggestion is interesting, but how do you then handle the Service Desk's visibility?

Sorry for not getting it right away ; I remember listening to this album, but it was before I got interested in reading sleeve notes and titles. This is indeed a very relevant reference. My knowledge has broadened somehow. Thanks.
Ok, look guys I thought I was the resident connoisseur of the finer mystical hallucinatory narcotics, but it seems you two have tapped into some force far more powerful, because even I don't know what you're talking about now. What the hell, welcome to party!
