SERVICE-ABILITYTHE KEY TO COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE IN THE 21ST CENTURYKevin Robson
Organizations of all types are now experiencing high customer churn,
antagonism and loss of business sustainability because they are
dangerously ignoring the time-honored business axiom that, ‘People
do business with people.’ The rapid emergence of new technology is
undoubtedly bringing incalculable benefi t to organizations but people
and processes have become conformed to systems thinking and this is
depersonalizing both the employee and the customer and preventing
truly customer-satisfying interactions.
Organizations that challenge this emerging paradigm and refocus on the
need to treat customers in a way that satisfi es them not the technology,
will have better customer retention, lower costs of replacement and will
build their brand value through better reputations.
This book will tackle the current chaos and offer fresh new ideas and
ways to re-think the way we structure, manage, lead and organize our
corporate bodies to be better able to achieve total customer centricity
and develop lasting relationships with customers.
ABOUT THE AUTHORKevin Robson is a former Managing director and chief executive of a
number of companies (including as a charity CEO) The Founder of a
number of businesses, he writes and teaches course at post graduate

TRILLIONSTHRIVING IN THE EMERGING INFORMATION ECOLOGY
Peter Lucas, Joe Ballay, Michael McManus
Digital information and complexity is evolving at a staggering pace
and, alas, at an almost entirely ad hoc fashion. The principal players
have no long-range plans and no global goals beyond dominating
certain markets. Even worse, they have no scientifi c methods to
guide their work and investigations. Trillions explores how, if handled
correctly, pervasive computing can make it possible for business and
fi nance professionals to envision the digital ecology in all its parts in
order to create enormous shareholder value and foster a more rational
and humane world.
