1:40 PM Track A: Workshop: Lean for Modern Field Service: Applying Continuous Improvement to Digital, Remote, and AI Enabled Workflows

This Workshop is designed for leaders who want lean to live inside their field service tech stack, not just on whiteboards. By combining continuous improvement methods with real-time data from mobile, remote, and AI tools, you'll see how to engage technicians in recognizing waste, and making incremental changes that stick in day-to-day operations

Discussion and key takeaways include:
  • Adapting core lean concepts – value, flow, pull, and standard work to digital, remote, and AI-enabled field service journeys
  • Creating practical techniques to identify and cut waste in hand-offs, rework, and re-dispatches across your FSM, parts, and remote support workflows
  • Empowering frontline teams to participate in ongoing improvement and feed real-world insights back into your digital tools

4:40 PM Track A: Panel: Knowledge and Digital Transformation of Contact and Support Centers To Streamline Work Orders to Completion

In many organizations, contact and support centers still operate on legacy scripts, static FAQs, and disconnected ticket systems, forcing agents to chase information and hand work off multiple times before a job is done. This panel brings together leaders who are using AI powered knowledge bases, workflow automation, and integrated field service platforms to give agents a single view of the customer, asset, and work order—and to guide them step by step from diagnosis to dispatch to closure. Speakers will discuss how they curate and govern knowledge so answers stay trusted. Attendees will hear where digital transformation has truly reduced handle time, repeat calls, and fallout in the field—and where cultural and process change has been just as important as the tech

Discussion includes:
  • Designing and maintaining a knowledge layer that supports agents and customers across channels while directly linking into work order, scheduling, and asset systems
  • Developing best-in-class change management practices—governance, training, and metrics—that build agent trust in new tools and ensure knowledge and digital capabilities actually get used in daily operations
