Completed Service Work and Its Value in Field Services with David Nour (Ep. 9)
You’ve probably heard of a popular management principle called Completed Staff Work. Completed Service Work is an evolution of this concept of doing everything thoroughly and anticipating next steps to the world of field service management.
Did you know there is more to completed service work than simply fixing a customer’s problem?
