3:00 PM Track A: Mastermind: Training Techs for a Digital-First Future: Building a High-Performing Field Workforce with the Right Tools and Content

In this session, Peter explores how modern training strategies and digital tools can turn field technicians into confident, data-driven problem solvers who deliver faster fixes and better customer experiences. Drawing on real-world examples of mobile apps, interactive content, and AI-enabled knowledge resources now common across leading field service organizations, Peter will show how to design training that fits the way technicians actually work—on the move, under time pressure, and surrounded by complex assets. Attendees will learn how to connect asset-centric training, digital manuals, and structured knowledge bases into a cohesive ecosystem that shrinks onboarding time, boosts first-time fix rates, and makes technicians more self-sufficient in the field.
Key Takeaways
  • Structuring asset-specific training and digital content so new and tenured technicians can access exactly what they need, at the moment of need, on any device.
  • Blending mobile apps, interactive manuals, and AI-assisted knowledge tools to improve first-time fix rates and reduce repeat visits.
  • Creating a roadmap for building a sustainable training and digital asset program that keeps pace with new equipment, evolving customer expectations, and next-gen technician needs AI
