Prior to taking his role in the central European team helping to shape the service vision of the future for Konica Minolta, Cranny had a long and successful career with the company culminating with his leadership of the UK field service operations.
Â
In that time Cranny was at the spearhead of understanding the significant changes that were coming not just to the print industry, but to field service at large. He was also a huge and earlier advocate of understanding just how important data would be in our industry moving forwards.
Â
Now in his more strategic role with Konica Minolta, he has been a central advisor to a number of important developments the company has undertaken including their embrace of a remote-service-first as a default approach to service delivery.
Â
As part of our coverage of the #FSN20 Cranny joined Chris Hird on the Field Service News Digital Symposium and as always the long-form format of the conversation allowed space for us to drill into some of the key experiences and insights Cranny had to offer in a frank, open and honest discussion that all field service leaders will take something from.
Â
In this excerpt from the full interview the two discuss how older engineers are adapting to a new paradigm of remote service delivery and how we can help them make this transition.
