In this presentation, Andy Neely will reflect on lessons learned through the Cambridge Service Alliance’s work on the servitization of manufacturing. He will ask “what have you learned to date about the servitization of manufacturing”, as well as explore “what do we need to learn for tomorrow”, drawing particularly on the changing national and international landscape. The presentation will end by offering views on future research questions and themes for those interested in servitization.
