The tools, skill requirements and business models of Field Service are undergoing a transformation as busi-nesses and consumers continue to shift away from products to services. While this shift is driven by convenience and predictability - it poses major challeng-es for businesses seeking to reimagine their product-market fit, and retool their sales and service operation.
Research firm Gartner says that 89 per cent of companies now compete on the quality of the service experience - underlining that the critical importance of getting the right balance between service levels and cost.
Customers require companies to be responsive in hours not days - and responsiveness by itself is not something companies can charge for. Service availability is an essential part of being competitive.
Fail to turn up on schedule, and your service failure is now increasingly visible on social media. With customers buying service availability rather than a product in a box, prolonged downtime presents the really terrifying prospect of instant feedback on your service offering. Unless you can address these challenges your business reputation can collapse very quickly.
Customer expectations of service are definitely getting higher and higher: you can no longer get away with telling a customer you’ll schedule service on a given day. Expectations are for two-hour service slots, and this puts huge pressure on organisations.
The implications of field service failure are not just reputational - many suppliers of products and services in regulated industries are required by law to meet strict SLAs or face penalties. Response times in the oil and gas sector can be 15-minutes; hospitals run diagnostic equipment 24/7, and unscheduled downtime can have life-threatening consequences.
If the costs of failure are increasing, then so too are the costs of success: service engineers are an endangered species. Finding engineers willing to spend 180 days or more on the road is getting harder and therefore more expensive, just as the the pressure of meeting those increasing customer expectations is growing.
Failure to retain precious field service talent can have a very negative impact on the bottom line: field service budgets fail to add up if staff churn rates rise.
And the good news? Well, you’re not alone.
Field Service Summit 2016 is the UK’s top gathering of service and operations directors from the country’s biggest organisations - a conference that revolves around conversation and idea exchange. Field service leaders from manufacturing, IT services, telcos and utilities will be meeting in April to discuss where the opportunities lie for their teams. I hope you can join us in Oxford.
Cheers,
James Smith, Research Director, Copperberg

We create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data daily — 90% of the data in the world today has been created in the last two years alone. Field service organisations now have access to an unprecedented amount of data about the performance of their technicians, vehicles, equipment they service and their business performance. But how accessible is all this data? How can it be transformed into valuable information that contributes to increased revenue, reduced costs and improved customer satisfaction?

OUR SPEAKERS
Professor Andy Neely is Head of Cambridge University’s Institute for Manufacturing and Founding Director of the Cambridge Service Alliance, an industrial consortium involving the University of Cambridge and BAE Systems, Caterpillar, IBM, Pearson and Zoetis. His research, teaching and consulting interests span manufacturing and service innovation, as well strategy and performance. Much of his research has focused on practical questions, such as how do manufacturing firms innovate their business models to provide services and solutions for their customers.
Andy’s View
“Field Service is undergoing a revolution. New technologies encompassing new sensors and sources of data mean that firms are able to offer ever greater and more sophisticated services and solutions to their customers. Original equipment manufacturers in all sectors seem to be waking up to the challenges and opportunities of field service not just for their products, but also for their competitors. This, coupled with devel-opments in big data analytics and the internet of things, make field service a fascinating place to work today.”
John Cullen has held executive positions in large global companies in telecoms, oil & gas and mining industries as well as running his own successful business development and sales consultancy. A key part of his role in recent years has been around service business globalisation, service productisation and refocusing the sales message from being a parts provider to a value added solution provider. Metso is a market leader in crushing and grinding performance based contracts to the mining and construction segments. KPI based performance contract scope can include maintenance services, equipment, spare parts, wear parts, and process optimisation. Other previous companies include Telefonica O2 and Nokia Networks.
John’s View
“The biggest challenge facing most service organisations is how to increase their service profitability and increase revenue. Focusing just on spare parts maximises profitability but tends to limit service growth. Too much field service work and profitability can become too low. Finding the optimum mix is the holy grail of services.”
Christian joined Wincor Nixdorf in 2001 and held a number of management positions in the global service business. From his London base he leads the global network of local field service organisations in over 40 countries with about 3500 Service Engineers. Continuous improvement of profitability, customer satisfaction & employee engagement are his core objectives. He has a strong track record of transforming businesses and is a passionate promoter of ”Service Excellence”
Christian’s View
“Extracting the real value add from the haystack of opportunity will be the hard work.”
Professor Andy Neely, Head of Cambridge University’s Institute for Manufacturing & Founding Director of the Cambridge Service Alliance
John Cullen, Vice President, Global Marketing & Brand, Metso Corporation
Christian Nolte, Global Head of Field Service, Wincor Nixdorf
A trained designer and mechanical engineer who moved onto business and service management and later into transformation consultancy. A creative and imaginative strategic thinker who uses Design Thinking to focus on ”what might be”, but backed by in -depth practical experience in product and service design and development, operations management, and business/service design. An entrepreneur by nature, always seeking interesting and innovative business opportunities. An artist lurks deep within and sometimes surfaces with surprisingly good results... I navigate the space where my imagination meets reality... A maverick and boat- rocker who challenges the status quo.
James’ View
“For Service Directors there are more than just a few strategic challenges to consider. The situation is moving from field service as a supporting role and cost centre, towards service as the primary business model and profit centre. Customer expectations are escalating; the service touch-point are widening; new entrants are emerging with innovative solutions; society is moving from consumerism towards a sharing economy; the Internet of Things is supporting product/service ecosystems... The list goes on.”

Martin leads a team of 60 people across all these diverse areas. Last year, the results delivered include: over £1.8million in increased margin, shifting “left” 9600 calls and closing remotely over 19,400 calls. These results delivered time savings of over 880,000 hours of preventable customer down time, and 33,000 hours of wasted en-gineer time. Martin has worked in services for over 25 years. He has worked across many areas of service – both technical and non technical, as well as from a pre sales support and marketing perspective. He has progressed from field service, into Call Centres, technical support, through to country and regional management. He has even had a stint at the Metropolitan Police Service where he worked in the MIB – Met Intelligence Bureau.

11FIELD SERVICE SUMMIT 2016
OUR SPEAKERS
Aly Pinder explores how service and manufacturing executives use technology and implement best practices to improve post -sales service processes. His coverage areas within the service space primarily include Field Service and Mobility, and Service Parts Logistics, on which he has written or co -authored over 60 research reports and benchmarked 4000+ service executives in more than six years with Aberdeen.
Aly’s View
“A challenge which has bubbled to the surface over the past couple of years is the need to enhance the customer experience through field service interactions. Technicians not only find themselves responsible for fixing downed equipment, they also have to have the tools, skills, knowledge, and expertise to deliver value to customers as the brand advocates for the business.”
Aly Pinder Jr, Senior Research Analyst, Aberdeen Group
Neil is a Field Management professional and has held senior leadership roles across a number of sectors. Currently Director of Operations for Arqiva, one of the UK’s foremost communications infrastructure and media services companies, Neil has led national field service teams in some of the largest companies in the Telecoms (Virgin Media), Domestic Appliance (Indesit) and Automotive industries (Lex). His focus on transformation through people and technology has driven major change in these field and support operations.
Neil’s View
”Field service is vital in ensuring your customer goals are met, be it carrying out maintenance to prevent faults or reacting to an issue in a timely and professional manner. Unless your field force is engaged in revenue generating activities, are they seen as a cost as opposed to a profit centre? How do we maximise available resources? Ultimately is the best field force the one that is not required - or would you be missing out on a vital opportunity to interact with customers and your network?”
Neil Taplin, Director of Operations, Arqiva
Coen is responsible for the service revenue and installed base of Bosch Security Projects, and is the driving force in the Netherlands towards the inclusion of a Chief Service Officer in the Board.

Coen is a storyteller with Sales DNA and a Service heart, and is an enthusiastic ‘builder’ of teams and processes for sales and service organisations,
Coen’s View
“The key challenge for service professionals is converting the (service) profit contribution into decision making influence on board level.”
Coen Jeukens, Service Contract Director, Bosch Security Systems

Jan van Veen has just finished a temporary service leadership role at Hologic (healthcare and medical diagnostics), before which he held a number of leadership and catalysing roles with manufacturing and engineering companies in Europe. Jan’s mission is to accelerate service transformations of manufacturers, hence better meeting customer needs and driving sustainable growth. He was co-founding partner with Noventum Service Management for 9 years, and co -authored the book ‘Customer Centric Innovation for Sustainable Growth’.
Jan’s View
“Field service is hardly a technical/diagnosing function but a trusted advisor function delivering knowledge services and a branded customer experience. In future service portfolios will develop significantly towards high value, business related services next to maintenance and availability services. Diagnostic capabilities will move from the field engineers to the equipment and smart service centres. Field service will increasingly focus on specific tasks to replace a component, requiring less technical skills.”
Jan van Veen, author ‘Customer Centric Innovation for Sustainable Growth’ JAN VAN VEEN
Nick Frank has a track record of developing service businesses within high value technology companies through various General Manager and Director-level roles for industry-leading multinationals, such as Xerox, Textron and Husky Injection Molding Systems. His current focus is to help companies find their Pathways to Growth through providing management support in the areas of strategy, new business models, ecosystems, innovation, operations, service sales and transformation.
Nick’s View
To maximise the exciting opportunities offered by the IoT & analytics, I believe companies should focus less on the technology and more on Service Thinking with a dash of Imagination. Service Thinking to find the profit pools in their customer’s and Industry value chains that will pay for the investment. Imagination to figure out how to leverage their know and the technology to make their customer’s more successful.
Nick Frank, Director, Frank Partners
