Key Theme for 2016 - Delivering Value
This year’s theme is about delivering value, in ‘transforming from a cost centre to a value
centre’ and ‘delivering true customer value’. This is supported by the fact that in today’s
increasingly competitive market place, the idea of delivering and showing the value of FSM
has been central to the majority of conversations we have been having for the past 8 years.

8:40 What Does ‘MOBILITY’ mean? Maximise Your Mobility Capabilities
65% of field service organisations still consider reducing and driving efficiencies
as an important objective of their organisation. An effective mobility solution can
improve overall productivity by 30-40% and profitability by 20-25% for the service
organisation. So what does this actually mean to have an effective mobility solution?
In this panel, experts will come together to share their expertise and draw on their
experiences:
• The significance of field service mobility drawing on their successes and failures
• Examining the life of the field service technician and challenges face on-site
• Identifying critical features that should form part of your field service mobile
application
• Mobility program to innovate and deliver and differentiate your service

10:10 The Age of the Internet of Things (IoT) - How Far Can We Push Connectivity?
It is predicted that 3 years from now, 5% of customer service cases will be autonomously
initiated by connected devices as more objects connect to the internet. Indeed, as
manufacturers turn to developing smart devices from jumbo jet engines through to white
goods, machine to machine diagnosis and preventative maintenance will become the
accepted norm and so IoT based field service management systems will in turn become
more in demand. Before long, every piece of equipment that technicians are asked to
fix could be connected to the Internet — and to one another. It’s all part of the coming
Internet of Things (IoT) revolution that will have a big impact on field service. Our expert
panellists will come together to evaluate the impact IoT will have on field services.
• Which industries will be improved by IoT?
• How IoT will transform you’re your automated claims and automatically initiated
service calls?
• What will this mean for privacy – is IoT assisting or monitoring you?

12:40 Plenary Presentation: Achieving Technician Technology Acceptance in FSM
The latest quantitative study by Capriza showed that 45% of respondents were
unlikely to use enterprise software due to complicated, poorly designed interfaces.
In field mobility this need for end user acceptance and consequent use of the
mobile solution is paramount for any project’s success. There is a lot of strong
opinions regarding what makes a good FSM App however little research. To that
end, Retriever sponsored the University of Technology to do an independent study
on the key determinants for end user acceptance in FSM.
Take-aways
• Key design “rules of thumb” required for an industrial field App usability
• The impact of mobile form factors – tablet v smartphone
• The role of environment - light, isolation, age – on choices taken

Solutions Clinic: Getting The Right Information to Remote Workers
The right information increases efficiencies. Delivering excellent service is tightly
integrated with how companies collect, digest and act on field data. In-vehicle
GPS boxes feed data back to dispatch centres throughout the day, providing
critical insight into the quality of service that field workers deliver. Analysis of the
data can produce increased first-time fix rates, reduced follow-up truck rolls, and
enhanced preventive tasks to minimise repair calls. It has been found that 89%
of best-in-class organisations are 2.5 times more likely to integrate preventive
tasks into a repair visit to alleviate future breakdowns. In this interactive problem
solving session, delegates are given the opportunity to extract, share and collect
information to better understand how:
• Leveraging analytics to gain greater insight into their operations, enabling them
to lower operating costs and improve efficiency and productivity
• Using information, such as poor scheduling and inefficient staff utilisation to
avoid time waste
• How to effectively match the right technician to the right task for the right job

By 2018, 70% of mobile workers will
use a table or a hybrid device that has
tablet like characteristics. Enabling
your field service technician with the
right tools guides them through daily
tasks and helps them plan tasks for the
future. In this session, Chris will identify:
• Creating new tasks for unplanned
work to ensure all co-workers were
informed in real time
• How mobile applications allowed
technician to check parts, make
requests and place an online
purchase seamlessly
• Limitations and failures experienced
with mobile applications

Family Based Care Association North
West is a not-for-profit organisation
and their focus is heavily dependent
on their relations with their customers.
It is pertinent that they develop
strong customer relationships in order
for their business to survive. Where
an organisation understands how
customers value your service and what
your clients truly value, then this can
prove to drive, profits. In this session,
Doug will explore how to:
• Understand how customers value
your service and what they truly
value
• Mapping the entire value stream to
asses what add values and what
doesn’t
• Improve accessibility to focus on
ways to make it easier for customers
to communicate
• Integrating customer relations

Driving Customer Focused Solutions
with an Integrated Technology
Platform
The key to improving customer
service is delivering on time fixes
through an integrated platform that
works seamlessly. 46% of companies
have identified that the cost of
implementation of new technology
is the highest barrier for companies
looking to develop their service
management solutions. There are over
1 billion mobile devices out there: your
workforce will be using them anyway,
so tap into that mindset. Technology is
delivering the opportunity to document
a vast amount of knowledge and get it
out there to the wider workforce and
customers. In this session, Brian will
compare solutions used at AECOM to
provide useful insight on which service
solution will help meet your needs.
• Measuring your business and
customer needs to manage
• Comparing solutions and
compatibility
• Maximising current capabilities to
meet your needs

Including an Internet of Things (IoT)
Functionality to your Software to
Increase Connectivity
Three years from now, 5% of customer
service cases will be autonomously
initiated by connected devices as more
objects connect to the internet. The IoT
will transform the contact centre from
a reactive inbound customer service
centre to a proactive outbound service.
This will be achieved by devices being
able to self-diagnose problems and
immediately alert the contact centre
of the issue, often before the customer
realises. In this session, Richard will
address how IoT is predicted to have a
huge impact to service organisations.
• Including a QR code to enable clients
an IoT interface
• Transforming your contact centres
from a reactive inbound customer
service to a proactive outbound
service
• Understanding how IoT impact
customer services and responding

Improving Customer Satisfaction
through Mobility
Mobility helps service organisations
resolve issues faster, enabling them to
attend to service requests immediately
and fix faulty parts on time for their
customers. This prompt response has
a high impact across the ecosystem
of the organisation - from field service
technicians to service managers,
business managers, executives and
customers. In this session, Kevin will
identify:
• Critical features that should be
part of your field service mobile
application
• Identifying effective ways to make
staff more efficient, provide better
service to customers and improve
profitability
• Implementing an effective mobility
plan to meet deadlines

4:20 Qantas - Streamlining Processes, Parts and People to Ensure On-Time
Departures and Safety
Qantas is Australia’s largest domestic and international airline and is recognised as
one of the world's leading long distance carriers, employing over 32,500 people
and offering services over 182 destinations in 44 counties. Domestically, it operates
over 5,600 domestic flights a week. In order to maintain their reputation, Qantas
focuses their attention on two crucial factors: on time departures and safety. In
this session, David will identify the framework behind behind the maintenance
of operations at Qantas in order to effectively mobilise and carry out their
operations.
• Effectively using airborne systems to monitor and assess defects in assets to
feed info back to HQ
• Responding to defects within a 35 minute turnaround for on-time lift off
• Minimising department disruption through centralised computing systems and
accurate sharing of information

What are the New Requirements for
Field Service Technicians?
People are the key to running a
successful and effective field service
operation, and the field service
technician is the “face” of the company
to the customer. The challenge for
service companies is not so much the
age of their current workforce but
the aptitude and willingness to learn
new skills. As technology changes, the
engineer’s role may change from being
field-based to carrying out remote
diagnosis on a Help Desk. Regardless,
they still need an underlying skill set
and its important those skills sets are
up-to-date. In this interactive session,
experts will come together to engage
in healthy dialogue to evaluate whether
field service technicians should become
more technical skilled or become more
sales savvy to meet generate revenue.

requires employees to acquire new
business skills, business process
troubleshooting, and the ability to drive
increased adoption and consumption
within the client’s site. In addition, the
retention of key talent in field services
has never been more important due to
an aging workforce, a diminishing talent

half of the workforce that will need replacing in a 20 year period. It is already
reported that 60% of companies are understaffed in their technical and highly
skilled positions. This is also an area where demand is predicted to grow as swiftly
as other professions by 2025. This means there is a growing pressure to meet a
growing demand to acquire and retain new additions to the mobile workforce.
In this interactive panel discussion, our expert panellists will discern the issues
surrounding potential talent shortages and recruitment.

Learning How to Develop an Effective Business Case
for your Mobility Plan
At Qantas, two crucial factors determine their productivity and profitability: on-time
departures and safety. One aspect to improve their profitability and productivity is by
reducing their delays. The cost of delay was measured to be $100 per minute. This was
quantified through, for example, loss of crew scheduling, MPS metrics, and passenger
score cards. Multiplied over a year, the delay of 30 minutes per day equates to just
under $1.1 million per year. These figures are important when it comes to building an
effective business case for your mobility plan.
Mobilising their ground crew and making sure their assets meet safety requirements
before any departure is central to Qantas being able to maintain their reputation
as one of the or world’s recognised and leading long distance carriers. In order to
maintain their reputation, a clear strategic mobility plan is required. However, barriers
towards building a case to get their ground crew armed with the right tools in their
hands is a challenge, due to a number of factors such as data charges, justifying ad
quantifying ROI.
Join us for this master class session to learn how to identify factors that convert to
metrics so you are able to communicate the value of your mobility plan to finance
dept. and senior management. By joining this master class session you will also take
away with you:
• Understanding your current processes and where opportunity and loss lies
• Understanding how to build user engagement
• learn skills on how to measures costs that prove the value of current and future
mobility plans
• Understand how to quantify the value of your field services to prove you are more
than just a costs centre
• Learn which solutions give you best ROI and incorporate this into your business plan
• Learn how to communicate the value of your mobility plan to finance department
and senior management
