The importance of understanding service within the executive business strategy

In a changing world of operations and technology, two key topics dominate the discussions within the field service industry.

These are servitization and digital transformation and the importance of asset data lies at the heart of each of these two growing trends. However, as an industry have we even begun to scratch the surface of the true value of asset data? 

This is a burning question and a fundamental pillar on which we are building the future of field service yet largely it remains unanswered with clear quantifiable data. To resolve this FSN Research in partnership with ServiceMax have gone further than anyone else in their latest research study to get to the heart of the trends we are seeing in our industry regarding the utilisation and flow of asset data amongst service organisations.

The conversation was packed full of insight as the group shared their knowledge from multiple industry touchpoints and many years of experience.

In this excerpt from the full hour-long video Kris Oldland and Mark Wilding discuss the increasing importance of understanding the role service delivery must play in the context of wider executive business strategies.
