Take Advantage of Valuable Free Webinars

Transforming Product-Dominant Firms into Profitable Service Providers

August 26, 2009 10 am PST 1pm EST

A free webinar with Center for Services Leadership, CSL, Executive Director and Professor,
Steve Brown August 26, 10:00 a.m. PST - 12:00 p.m. CST - 1:00 p.m. EST

On June 22, Steve Brown and colleagues published an article in the Wall Street Journal
to discuss how many manufacturers and other product-dominant companies are aggressively offering for-pay services as a way to stand out from the competition and open up new streams of revenue. In alignment with this article, the CSL is presenting a free, interactive 60 minute webinar highlighting the insights on this topic on August 26, at 10:00 a.m. PST, 12:00 p.m. CST and 1:00 p.m. EST.

In this webinar, Steve will highlight why this movement is occurring, what pitfalls need to be overcome and the "how to's " of driving profitable service revenue for product-dominant firms. Throughout the presentation, we will feature polling questions, chat functions and interaction so you can learn how others involved in the product-to-services journey are progressing, and ask questions as the webinar is in progress. The content of the webinar
draws from learnings from CSL member companies, over 20 case studies, plus a major
survey of over 350 firms.

This webinar is highly recommended if you are from a manufacturing or other product-dominant organization that is looking to make the move to offering services as a key differentiator.
