Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP103 - Executive in the Passenger Seat: A Ride Along with Service w/ Patrycja Sobera, Unisys
Q: Do the current AI tools help or burden your technicians on the go?
Overall, technology helps by providing pre-work briefs, read-aloud capabilities for hands-free updates, and post-work summaries, though adoption must be sequenced carefully to avoid confusion from overlapping tools.
EP103 - Executive in the Passenger Seat: A Ride Along with Service w/ Patrycja Sobera, Unisys
Q: What surprised you most about the friction and micro moments before service delivery?
The biggest surprises were how small items like part pick-ups, access, and correct workspace setup can consume significant time and create a cascading effect on the overall resolution.
EP103 - Executive in the Passenger Seat: A Ride Along with Service w/ Patrycja Sobera, Unisys
Q: Can you give our audience a sense of scale of what your technicians do day-to-day and what inspired you to ride along with them?
The ride-along confirmed there are about 7,000 technicians globally, with focus on frontline support, field operations, and a push toward making tech more autonomous and efficient while keeping human factors front and center.
Creating a Culture of Service: Deploying the 'Humanity' Mindset
Q: Have you seen common fears or inertia-driven biases that prevent good leaders from embracing a Service is Humanity framework?
Yes. Leaders can get stuck in traditional mindsets, but the culture is set by leadership. If leaders don't model and support the new culture, it won't take hold; ongoing listening to frontline teams and customers helps surface pain points and align actions with humanity-centered goals.
EP101 - Harnessing Data for Intelligent Service w/ Denise MacDonell, Flash Global
Q: What are the prerequisites for moving toward an intelligence-driven service organization?
A clear data strategy, a plan to centralize or warehouse data, and commitment to using data to drive business decisions are essential; without a solid data foundation, advanced analytics struggle to deliver value.
