Service Automation Framework Fundamentals
(Front-End-Automation)

  • In essence, the course answers the question of how to design and set up a service via a digital interface on a smartphone, tablet or service portal in such a way that customers enjoy using it over the long term.

    Service automation - the concept of providing services through intelligent technology - is a fast-growing area of interest for most companies.

    Companies such as Spotify, Netflix and Uber (who provide 100% automated services) have proven that organisations can achieve rapid growth and gain a competitive advantage by using service automation.

    The main goal of the Service Automation Foundation training is to teach you how to transform analogue (or manual) steps of the service delivery process into automated steps.

    By making this transition, service providers are able to offer their services instantly, cost-effectively and to a potentially larger market.

    However, the steps to providing automated services are not simple. Many organisations are faced with the question of where to start or which services to automate. To provide an answer to this question, the Service Automation Framework has been developed.

    This service automation course gives you a deep insight into the concept of service automation, the concept that allows you to automate your service offering. If you apply service automation appropriately in your organisation, you will find that both employee and customer satisfaction will increase and the number of people who like your business will increase significantly.

    The Service Automation Framework® itself was created to provide a methodical way to discuss service automation. It provides a step-by-step approach, including a series of design elements and processes that any organisation can use to systematically improve their services. As with any model, it is a simplified version of reality, but it structures the mind and provides consistent terminology when discussing the content with colleagues and peers. No more, no less. We encourage you to adapt and apply the model as you see fit and that helps you and your organisation.

    This course is aimed at anyone who has ever experienced that the service level in their organisation can be increased and is looking for guidance to achieve this goal. Whether you are an entrepreneur, executive, consultant or in academia, the Service Automation Framework will help you to consistently exceed user expectations.

  • Completion of the course will provide participants with the following technical skills:

    • As a minimum, the candidate who meets the Service Automation Foundation exam criteria should be able to recall, recognise and demonstrate an understanding of the theories, design elements, processes and techniques described in the Service Automation Framework.

    In particular, they should be able to demonstrate this understanding by:

    • Understand the business drivers of technology-enabled automated services to explain the business case for service automation.

    • Discuss how the service automation framework enables autonomous users to procure, manage and customise services via self-service technology.

    • Explain the difference and synergy between the user, service design and technology design elements that help meet and exceed user expectations to create lasting value.

    • Explain the difference between Automated Deployment, Service Delivery Automation and Serendipity Management and describe the underlying processes.

    • Describe the steps to complete a Service Automation Blueprint to visualise services and design and deploy automated services.

    • Discuss the processes underlying the delivery of automated services and how these need to be integrated into self-service portals to provide automated delivery.

    • Explain the concept of serendipity management and how it impacts the user experience (UX) of services.

    • Each of the above learning objectives will be illustrated through a series of case studies and real-world examples.

    • Web-based training in English language
