Service Evolved – Episode 2
Waves of seasoned field service technicians are approaching retirement, and they will take with them years of invaluable “tribal knowledge” collected during their tenure. Meanwhile, new digital-native employees are coming on board and need help getting up to speed. But even the most sophisticated training manual cannot substitute for the people-centric and practical wisdom offered by the departing members of the workforce. So how should organisation s successfully harness existing employee knowledge to equip the next generation of field service technicians? Listen to this episode of Service, Evolved, to find out how new technologies like extended reality (XR) are helping to improve the employee and customer experience.
Together with their special guest Matt Hulbert, hosts Scott LeFante and Dan Cefaratti discuss how XR like Microsoft HoloLens paired with Dynamics 365 and Teams can:
- Enable new technicians to ramp up and provide a better customer experience faster
- Engage and extend the career of highly-skilled technicians
- Provide safe, low-cost assistance to technicians on remote work sites
- Capture undocumented processes and contextual knowledge from employees
And more.
