About the Forum​

It is a community for Service Leaders and Executives of manufacturing firms that want to be inspired, challenged and equipped to capitalize the full potential of the service business.

The objective of the Service Business Forum is to explore and spread trends, relevant service transformation topics, and service best practices that can help manufacturers to take faster and smarter decisions.

By organizing events, conducting service research studies and maintaining the service industry standards, the Service Business Forum provides its members the opportunity to bring their service businesses to the next level.

To design and decide the topics of each event, our Advisory Board composed of experienced service executives of leading manufacturing firms, gets together to work, discuss trends, and conclude the next topics that will help our members.

The Service Business Forum is future oriented, focused on global business and technology trends.

What do we do?
Every quarter we research service industry trends and best practices and provide:
  • Thought-provoking insight into relevant trends, challenges, case studies and performance data.​
  • Interactive workshops (in local language) in an informal and trusted atmosphere where service leaders can meet, share and co-create best practices and elect which will become industry standards​.
  • An opportunity to invite c-level executives and create awareness of the service business potential and strategic implications.​
  • Online access to the latest service industry standards and best practices, webinars and podcasts with service leaders sharing their experience.

This realisation has led manufacturers to now focus on service growth and drives the shift from product centric to customer centric thinking. This also requires service organisations to be managed as a service business.

To build a metaverse is a complex and time consuming task, once it is done it can provide a wealth of opportunities for new service business models.
