The Evolution of Technical Service Business Models in the Era of Artificial Intelligence
This research explores how the integration of artificial intelligence is transforming the operational structures, service delivery models, and value propositions of technical services companies. It seeks to identify the shifts in organizational strategy and service architecture necessitated by the adoption of automated and generative technologies.
In plain words
How is AI changing the way technical services companies are organised and how they deliver their work? The study would look at what shifts in the balance between skilled people and automated work as firms adopt these tools.
