Tim is a leading international authority on Advanced Services and spends much of his time working hands-on with both global and local manufacturing companies to understand its application in practice and help to transform businesses.

His book “Made to Serve: How manufacturers can compete through servitization and product service systems” is essential reading for any companies or executives looking to explore this option for their business and provides a practical guide to adding Advanced Services, based on in-depth research with leading corporations such as Xerox, Caterpillar, Alstom and MAN Truck & Bus UK.
