The landscape of the field service industry is no exception. In recent years, the focus for these organizations has shifted towards increasing the quality of service. The thought leaders of the industry have worked to ensure their field technicians keep the customer top of mind. DirectTv, a leading satellite provider, has established itself as a key leader in the industry in this respect. New practices include streaming video tutorials to the smartphones of its field service staff, as well as empowering customers through a new mobile app, DirectTv voice, which launched earlier this month. Today we’re here with Dave Baker, Senior Vice President of Field Service at DirectTv, to discuss how he is equipping his front line to achieve service excellence.  00:30:00WBRnoDave Baker,DirecTv,Field Service,Customer Service,Best PracticesAs the entire world barrels into the digital age, corporations are plagued with the arduous task of meeting exceeding demands of customers.

The country has surfaced in recent years as one of the largest emerging global markets. Brazil’s sustained economic growth over the past decade has transformed its reputation. It should come as no surprise, then, that major corporations like GE are looking to add Brazil as a feather in the cap of their portfolios. In this podcast we'll speak to Alvaro Carvalheira, Director of Parts Logistics & Repair at GE Healthcare, Brazil, about the how GE was able to create a competitive edge in the spare parts business in Brazil. By developing a local infrastructure, having root fulfillment metrics and seting itself apart from the crowd by “integrating the local expertise together with the global process,” to address customers needs, GE was able to bolster customer experience and come out on top. Moreover, through their localized global strategy, they were able to identify and ship the right part at the right time to solve their customer’s problem;  A best practice that will ensure their success for years to come. 00:15:00WBRnoGeneral Electric,Spare Parts,Logistics and Repair,Interlog,BrazilBrazil's appeal for global corporations reaches far beyond its location as the host of the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympics .

Even President Obama mentioned it in his February, 2013, State of the Union Address: 3D printing. The new and increasingly popular technology could pose a huge opportunity for manufacturers, especially those in need of spare parts in short order. Duncan Stewart, Director of Research TMT, Deloitte, says that 3D printing might be a way that manufacturers can avert disaster when a critical part within their machinery breaks and needs immediate replacement. While 3D printing of spare parts may take several hours, it could pose an attractive alternative to the normal several days that manufacturers may wait to get a part in from another factory in another part of the world. “That interruption in production could be worth millions of dollars, in some cases,” said Stewart. Listen to this podcast interview with Mr. Stewart to learn more about 3D printing as it relates to the aftermarket supply chain. Stewart will be speaking about this at this year's Interlog conference, June 18th to 20th. He predicts that within a few years, major manufacturers will be adapting this technology in many cases, though it will likely not ever fully replace the spare parts industry. 00:12:00WBRnoDeloitte,Worldwide Business Research,Interlog conference,aftermarket supply chain conference,Duncan StewartIt’s been all over the news for months.

As with any company-wide effort at implementing new practices, this comes with its share of challenges. Paul Childerhose, Associate Director, Securities Data Services, RBC Capital Markets, has found that the key to building a successful data quality program and to make it operational is to establish credibility within the firm as a “go to group” and to “be available – get things done.” The core tenant of building a successful program, he says, is an acknowledgement that quality can and must be managed. “There has to be a dedicated focus toward managing the quality of the product,” said Childerhose. “If it’s not measured, how material is it?” In the below podcast, he discusses these points as well as how to choose the right partners and whether the industry as a whole is ready to answer to increased expectations.

Sepulveda, Assistant Secretary, Human Resources, VA. In the below interview, Mr. Sepulveda talks about a multi-generational recruitment and retention plan put together by a taskforce which was developed to position the VA as a leader in change across government hiring. The plan just landed on Mr. Sepulveda’s desk the first week of January. Also in the podcast, he addresses how the Change Academy is helping organizations understand the value of and necessity for change. At the Jack. C. Montgomery VA Medical Center in Muskogee, Oklahoma, patient care has improved significantly, in part due to a three-week training session where the Academy brought together nearly 1,100 employees to learn how to work with each other and move the center forward. Here, listen to him discuss these and many other important aspects of hiring reform, shortening the process of government hiring, dealing with succession and the promise that new, young workers are bringing to the defense sector. 00:21:00WBRnoJohn Sepulveda,Department of Veterans Affairs,Worldwide Business Research,HCMD conference,human capital management conferenceThe Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has arisen as a leader in the federal government’s effort to adopt change and multi-generational hiring practices in attRoger Graben, Kowa Pharmaceuticals, on acquisitions vs. licensing agreementshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/wbr/2010/12/20/roger-graben-kowa-pharmaceuticalsHealthhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/wbr/2010/12/20/roger-graben-kowa-pharmaceuticals/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/wbr/2010/12/20/roger-graben-kowa-pharmaceuticalsMon, 20 Dec 2010 19:00:00 GMTRoger Graben, Kowa Pharmaceuticals, on acquisitions vs. licensing agreementsThe pharmaceutical industry thrives on fostering creative and productive partnerships.
