Learnings from Customer Service
Complaints to indicate areas where your product needs to be improved or that your content isn’t doing a good job in educating your customers Customers won’t directly reach out your business through email or telephone - use social listening tools such as, SocialMention, GoogleAlerts, or Mention, to get a better idea of what people are saying about your business publicly. Recurring trend in questions, or even complaints, this can indicate areas that may be unclear to your audience in your advertising, website copy, or sales pitch. If an outside source is creating content on how people should best use your products, it could indicate an area where you should be creating more content to inform your customer needs with how-to or tutorial content. This could also mean that your product is too complicated and potentially alienating some of your potential audience.

Innovation in Customer Experience Tracking
• Multiple ways including surveys, social listening, customer effort score etc.
• NPS is a key metric. B2B companies have seen customers who were Promoters (as defined by Net Promoter Score) had a 25 to 30 percent higher renewal rate than Detractors.
• Cisco's "ease of doing business," determined via analysis as the top driver of customer and partner loyalty. The company employed feedback tools as annual relationship surveys and monitoring of social media to quantify the areas affecting perceptions of ease of doing business
• Action: Undertook improvements, and let customers know how it is addressing specific issues through a "We're Listening" blog. Bottom line: fix such things as navigation issues with its support website, ordering rules, and difficult tools that delayed invoicing – all of which saved a whopping $750 million each year, in addition to improving customer experience.

Company Background: Established start up looking to disrupt the talent sourcing and HR space for small and medium size businesses in a variety of industries. Since the purchase also requires significant internal process change, it takes time for to build trust and buy-in across the involved stakeholders (including HR and functional business leads). The marketing team develops detailed product content, white papers, and client testimonials for use by sales during the sales cycle. Challenge: The end-to-end sales cycle is long (over 18 months) and increasing. Each deal is considered high risk. To raise the chances of winning deals, marketing has focused most recently on producing content to support the sales process and streamline deal conversion. Need to focus on attracting and capturing targeted traffic to improve the overall ‘funnel health’ while continuing to support sales efficiency. increase the closure rates. Buyer Needs and Concerns: The key decision maker for their solutions is typically the COO or VP Human Resources, but they rarely are involved through the entire buying process. Since outsourcing talent and HR is a complex decision – with consequences touching every employee -- potential customers often have many stakeholders involved in the process, but most don’t know much about the solutions available to them. While all buyers realize this is an important company investment, most stakeholders lack the time (and interest) to get deeply involved in the details of decision making criteria and supplier comparisons.

Lessons from Boeing: Failing to Fly
Situation Objective How? Result
Losing market share to Airbus (owned by EADS) in the late 1990s
Reduce costs (and the selling prices) of its existing aircraft? Or…. Innovate with a new aircraft that would generate revenues by creating value for customers.
Use outsourcing to reduce 787 development time from six to four years and development cost from $10 to $6 billion Improve their travel experience for passengers. Change from (aluminum), to composite material (carbon fiber, aluminum and titanium) to allow increased humidity and pressure in the passenger cabin, improving flying experience. Would enable nonstop flight between any pair of cities without layovers. Aimed to improve value for its immediate customers (the airlines) by improved efficiency to bring 20% less fuel and cost-per-seat mile 10% lower. Reduce airlines’ maintenance and replacement costs.

The coordination risk No on-site support for its suppliers. In fact, it explicitly delegated this responsibility to sub-contractors. When the subcontractors didn’t perform the necessary coordination, Boeing had to provide the support anyway. “Boeing sent hundreds of its engineers to the sites of various Tier-1, Tier-2, or Tier-3 suppliers worldwide to solve various technical problems that appeared to be the root cause of the delay in the 787′s development. Ultimately, Boeing had to redesign the entire aircraft sub-assembly process.” The result? Huge additional expense, that should have been planned for and included in the project’s costs from the outset.
![Page 55: SERVICE OPERATIONS IN THE B2B WORLDvkteaching.weebly.com/uploads/1/4/3/9/14393508/b2b... · 2018-09-07 · SERVICE OPERATIONS IN THE B2B WORLD From the trenches ... email or telephone](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042222/5ec930fc7099083bf91e8eec/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
The innovation risk The 787 involved not merely the outsourcing of a known technology. It involved major technological innovations unproven in any airplane. Would the carbon fiber composite survive the rigors of international flying? Could lithium-ion batteries, which are notorious for overheating and causing fires that are difficult to put out, be safely used? No one knew for sure. The 787 also contains multiple new electrical systems, power and distribution panels. The interactions among these novel technologies, introduced simultaneously, also exponentially increased the risk of innovation. The innovation risk implied a greater involvement by Boeing in the development and manufacture of the aircraft. Astonishingly, Boeing opted for lesser involvement, delegating much of the detailed engineering and procurement to sub-contractors. The result? Unexpected problems have kept occurring that have delayed the project and increased its cost.
![Page 56: SERVICE OPERATIONS IN THE B2B WORLDvkteaching.weebly.com/uploads/1/4/3/9/14393508/b2b... · 2018-09-07 · SERVICE OPERATIONS IN THE B2B WORLD From the trenches ... email or telephone](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042222/5ec930fc7099083bf91e8eec/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
The outsourcing risk Complicated products like aircraft involve a necessary degree of outsourcing, simply because the firm lacks the necessary expertise in some areas, e.g. engines and avionics. For the 737 and 747 it had been at around 35-50 percent. For the 787, Boeing planned to increase outsourcing to 70 percent. The 787′s supply chain was envisioned to keep manufacturing and assembly costs low, while spreading the financial risks of development to Boeing’s suppliers.” Outsourced the engineering and construction of the plane long before the product was defined and the relative costs established. Boeing’s 787 project is many billions of dollars over budget. The delivery schedule has been pushed back at least 7 times. The first planes were delivered over three years late. The risk of tiered outsourcing Unlike Boeing’s earlier aircraft, in which Boeing played the traditional role of integrating and assembling different parts and subsystems produced by its suppliers, the 787′s supply chain is based on a tiered structure that would allow Boeing to foster partnerships with around fifty Tier-1 strategic partners. These strategic partners were to serve as “integrators” who assemble different parts and subsystems produced by Tier-2 and Tier-3 suppliers. Tier-1 strategic partners did not have the know-how to develop different sections of the aircraft or the experience to manage their Tier-2 suppliers. Result: To regain control of the development process, Boeing was forced to buy one of the key Tier-1 suppliers (Vought Aircraft Industries) and supply expertise to others. Boeing also had to pay strategic partners compensation for potential profit losses stemming from the delays.
![Page 57: SERVICE OPERATIONS IN THE B2B WORLDvkteaching.weebly.com/uploads/1/4/3/9/14393508/b2b... · 2018-09-07 · SERVICE OPERATIONS IN THE B2B WORLD From the trenches ... email or telephone](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042222/5ec930fc7099083bf91e8eec/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
The offshoring risk Some degree of outsourcing in other countries—i.e. offshoring—is an inevitable aspect of manufacturing a complex product like an airplane, because some expertise exists only in foreign countries. For example, the capacity to manufacture Lithium-ion batteries lies outside the US. Boeing had no choice but to have the batteries made in another country. More than 30 percent of the 787’s components came from overseas. By contrast, just 5 percent of the parts of the 747, were foreign-made. While there is nothing in principle wrong with necessary offshoring, the cultural and language differences and the physical distances involved in a lengthy supply chain create additional risks. Mitigating them requires substantial and continuing communications with the suppliers and on-site involvement, thereby generating additional cost. Result: Boeing didn’t plan for such communications or involvement, and so incurred additional risk that materialized.
![Page 58: SERVICE OPERATIONS IN THE B2B WORLDvkteaching.weebly.com/uploads/1/4/3/9/14393508/b2b... · 2018-09-07 · SERVICE OPERATIONS IN THE B2B WORLD From the trenches ... email or telephone](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042222/5ec930fc7099083bf91e8eec/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
The risk of communications by computer Rather than plan for face-to-face communications and on-site communcations, Boeing introduced a web-based communication tool called Exostart in which suppliers were supposed to input up-to-date information about the progress of their work. The tool was meant to provide supply chain visibility, improve control and integration of critical business processes, and reduce development time and cost. Instead of people communicating with people face-to-face, the computer itself was supposed to flag problems in real time. Not surprisingly, the tool failed. Suppliers did not input accurate and timely information, in part due to cultural differences and lack of trust. Result: neither Tier-1 suppliers nor Boeing became aware of problems in a timely fashion. Boeing’s reliance on computer communications contrasts sharply with face to face, agile communication ensure that everyone is on the same page.

The labor relations risk Maybe had a desire to circumvent difficult labor relations in Seattle. The approach backfired, as labor relations worsened as a result of the outsourcing decisions and a costly strike ensued. The project management skills risk Boeing’s original leadership team for the 787 programdid not include members with expertise on supply chain risk management. Without the requisite skills to manage an unconventional supply chain, Boeing was undertaking a huge managerial risk in uncharted waters. The risk of a disengaged C-suite Boeing’s CEO was in Chicago, strategizing about the future of Boeing and discussing civic goals with CEOs from other companies, the managers back in Seattle were making business decisions about tiresome “how-do-you-design-an-airplane stuff” that would determine whether there would be a firm to strategize about.

MarketPlace Failure Learnings
Background: Establish virtual services for the consulting sector, such as Synergy catalog, a directory with information on companies offering advisory services in Slovakia and an e-marketplace for paid advisory services where businesses with a need for advisory services could describe their problems and advisory firms could propose solutions and submit bids. Synergy’s services were supposed to be financed by registration fees and commissions to be paid by the advisory services providers. What happened: After one and a half years only 150 advisory firms had been listed in the catalogue. The events on the e-marketplace amounted to only a few dozen. As a consequence, business activities were stopped at the end of 2003. The internet platform is still online, but in sleeping mode. Why it failed: First, the home market in Slovakia appears too small for the provision of virtual consulting services. It cannot provide the footprint necessary to make such offers viable. Secondly, industry-specific business and communication processes have not been reflected well enough by the platform. Price transparency is not greatly appreciated by the providers of advisory services. Many customers of advisory services prefer to stick to already established relationships. The platform, however, was not designed to support existing relationships.

Solution: GXS has taken over the management of routing and translation for more than 100,000 EDI messages each month to and from ArcelorMittal’s different trading partners around the world Impact: takes away the need to maintain low-level expertise in B2B technology in-house and provides efficiency improvements that make core business processes smoother and more reliable

MarketPlace Learnings
Background: The market: Translation services required by companies The initial Model: Marketplace for connecting buyers and sellers at the cheapest price Result: Failure. The customer need was not to find cheapest translator but the one best suited for the requirements Solution: • Add project management and consulting services • Each client has own project manager who could understand requirement and
find the best translator • Knowledge management system with prior projects done for client to get an
idea of style requirements

Innovations worth spreading
SATMAP, for example, is a software solution that uses advanced analytics to improve service in call centers. It helps companies match callers to service agents with appropriate personalities, resulting in higher rates of customer satisfaction and service-to-sales conversion
Pervasive machine-to-machine (M2M) connectivity is already facilitating real-time service delivery in a number of B2B applications, such as the sensors GE uses in aircraft engines to monitor performance and improve the efficiency of maintenance
Help field technicians in densely populated urban areas balance their workloads in real time. The app acts as a sort of clearinghouse for service calls: when technicians realize that they may be late for the next visit, they can trade it to a nearby technician who has just finished a job early
Mobile Analytics Internet of things Workflow for
work
