Cambridge Service Alliance Industry Conference

One-day conference held on Tuesday 10 October 2017.

Bridging to ‘new’ Service Technology

 

Digital fundamentally changes the competitive landscape for services firms. Technologies such as Cognitive Analytics, IoT, and BlockChain and practices like design thinking, Agile and devOps are enabling new business model opportunities, challenging organisational ways of working. At this event the speakers will be examining not only the technologies important for service delivery, but will be looking at what needs to be done in the short term to enable your organisation to be ready for these technologies. They will give examples of digital service strategy and will show how they create value through technology today and plan to do so in the future.

 

Issues facing services firms:

 

• Which technology enables service business model innovation?

• Which technology enables customer value creation? • Which technology enables the mitigation of risk for service firms?

• Which technology to use do integrate into the processes of our customers?

 

Attendees will understand the vision and current application of novel technologies within leading service firms. The speakers will describe how they are applying technology, create value and the journey they went through.
