Understanding brain science enables everyone to be more effective and do better work. As service providers, we must understand what motivates our customers … and colleagues. As leaders, we must know what makes people tick in order to accelerate their development and achieve consistently outstanding service outcomes. We can also motivate our customers … who will more easily recognize our efforts to provide outstanding service.

How can we most effectively motivate colleagues and customers? Thanks to recent advances in brain imagining technology, social neuroscience now enables us to definitively answer this question. Changing behavior starts with awareness. This presentation is based in the social neuroscience that allows us to better understand the brain and use this science to more effectively motivate and understand others.

Key Takeaways:

• Introduction to the neuroscience of the brain as it relates to service professionals.
• Become aware of the 5 domains of social threats and rewards that motivate us all – Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness and Fairness…the SCARF model of motivation
• Understand how we can use our awareness of the SCARF model to motivate others and increase their capacity to make better decisions, solve problems, have effective conversations and collaborate with others
• Know why the brain functions best when threats are avoided
• Learn why the brain processes the SCARF elements with the same intensity as physical threats and rewards
• Recognize the limitations of our pre frontal cortex and how to maximize its use
• Use your awareness of the SCARF social triggers to more effectively motivate colleagues and customers

Session Objective

Explore strategies, tools, and innovations for delivering customized, end-to-end field service solutions that align with the entire lifecycle of assets and customer needs.

Key Discussion Areas

• What are the biggest challenges you face managing service across the lifecycle of assets (from product installation, maintenance to end-of-life)?
• What are your organizations doing to mitigate those challenges? What impacts are your mitigations having on your service organizational structure and workflows?
• How do you structure and optimize service processes to ensure seamless support across all lifecycle stages, including installation, preventive maintenance, and end-of-life management?
