Dr. Moira Scerri presented on developing a new model for measuring productivity in service and network-based firms. She discussed limitations of existing models, including their inability to account for multiple operating environments, networks, and bidirectional interactions. Her new model, called SEPIA, addresses these limitations by incorporating five stakeholders, customer input, and bidirectional exchanges. It also positions productivity in the social domain and recognizes convergence of resources rather than linear flows. Future research will involve further developing aspects of all stakeholders and network configurations to better measure productivity across different contexts.

Over 30 years in service design, service operations management ? Range of industries ? Travel and tourism ? Information technology ? Payments ? Education (Business and service delivery) A bit about me

- 4. 1. Why are models important?
- 5. ? There is sometimes a radical and revolutionary change in the image when knowledge ＾hits some sort of nucleus or supporting structure´and the whole thing changes in quite a radical way￣ (Boulding 1956, p. 8) ? The use of models assists with understanding the world and helps predict how things may behave in the future (Simon 1957) ? Enable people to communicate and work collectively and collaboratively on a problem Models are important

- 7. 2. Service productivity models 1. Service productivity models ? Service Process Matrix (Schmenner 1986, 2004) ? Service Cubicle (Agarwal & Selen 2005) ? Service Productivity Model (Gronroos & Ojasalo 2004)
- 8. Service Process Matrix (Schmenner 1986;2004) Service Process Matrix - Schmenner (1986) ? Overlay of service concepts onto Product Process Matrix Service Matrix C Schmenner (2004) ? Changed dimensions on the matrix ? Introduced the Theory of Swift Even Flow (the faster material or information flows through a system increases in productivity) C inclusion of the productivity diagonal Weakness ? Invalid assumptions C service organisations have multiple modes of operating ? Unable to accurately plot each of the organisations on the matrix
- 9. Service Cubicle (Agarwal & Selen 2005) Key contribution Service Cubicle - Agarwal & Selen (2005) Inclusion of technology (innovation) as an enabler and positioning of the firm within the service value network providing causality to the increase in service productivity Weakness Adopts the same weaknesses as Schmenner¨s Service Process Matrix
- 10. Service Productivity Model (Gronroos & Ojasalo 2004) Key contribution Service Productivity Model C Gronroos & Ojasalo (2004) Includes customer inputs and technology, and incorporates different operating models Acknowledges internal and external environments Weakness Linear, does not does not address the heterogonous nature of employees,

- 16. Service Enterprise Productivity in Action (SEPIA) model C Operationalisation
- 17. ? Reconceptualising productivity ? Incorporates five stakeholders ? Includes customer input ? Include bi-directional exchanges ? Positions productivity in the social domain ? Convergence of resources rather than linear flow SEPIA model
- 18. ? Customer interface ? Service complexity ? Customer interactions ? Customer channel ? Customer loyalty ? Willingness to pay (proxy for value) SEPIA model
- 19. SEPIA model From literature Addressed by Definition of service industries includes multiple perspectives Includes customers, employees, managers, suppliers and shareholders Single direction input C transformation C output model All interactions are bi-directional, with each stakeholder exchanging inputs and outputs Employees are heterogeneous Recognition of the difference between employees and managers Firm as the unit of analysis Firms do not make decisions, people do, therefore the appropriate unit of analysis is the human level No customer input Customers and customer input are included Single firm no longer the ＾productive unit￣ Firm is positioned within a service value network, with different network configuration highlighted (NEPIA model)
- 21. ? Incorporate aspects of all stakeholders ? Managers ? Suppliers ? More work on network productivity ? From dyadic networks ? Service triads ? Other network configurations Future research
