(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 26, 2008 ) SAN DIEGO, Mar. 25, 2008 – The TSE Conference announced today that Laurie Young will preview his new book From Products to Services: Insight and Experience from Companies which have Embraced the Service Economy at the upcoming TSE 2008 Conference. Young, a recognized authority and frequent author on services strategy and marketing issues, will address the gathering of European service professionals with his keynote presentation, Delivering Services Profitably, on the third day of the TSE conference to be held from 2 – 4 April, in Paris.
“The change from products to services is profound and involves huge risk. It has taken newcomers a great deal of time to manage the disruptive and radical change involved and make real money”, says Young. Drawing on case studies of leading companies such as IBM, Unilever, BT, Ericsson and Nokia, Young’s new book, which is published by Wiley in April 2008, dispels the myths and misinformation that abound about how product companies evolve into services businesses.
“Laurie’s book is a perfect fit for the theme of our conference this year, ‘The Next Wave of Business Growth’,” said JB Wood, president and CEO of AFSMI, SSPA, and TPSA. “The members of our three service associations include the leading professional services, technical support and field service organizations in the technology industry. They will make a receptive audience for Laurie’s observations on the path to service growth and profitability”.
