About the Presentation

The majority of the global economy is now service, rather than manufacturing or trading of tangible goods. Even the development of goods and systems increasingly takes on the character of service. This is a reality for all of the major players in the world, and it even offers a unique opportunity for emerging markets and industries. Eileen Forrester, manager of the CMMI for Services (CMMI-SVC) Project at the SEI, will talk about not only the current state of CMMI-SVC, but the larger strategic choices open to those who consider how superior service can revolutionize both work and business results. Innovative approaches already working in the United States, Latin America, Asia, and Europe can be tailored to your needs and make you a service leader in your markets.
