The Office of Strategic Services (OSS) was a wartime intelligence agency of the United States during World War II, and a predecessor of the modern Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The OSS was formed to coordinate espionage activities behind enemy lines for the United States Armed Forces branches. Other OSS functions included the use of propaganda, subversion, and post-war planning.
Prior to the formation of the OSS, American intelligence had been conducted on an ad-hoc basis by the various departments of the executive branch, including the State, Treasury, Navy, and War Departments. It had no overall direction, coordination, or control. The US Army and US Navy had separate code-breaking departments: Signals Intelligence Service and OP-20-G. (A previous code-breaking operation of the State Department, the MI-8, run by Herbert Yardley, had been shut down in 1929 by Secretary of State Henry Stimson, deeming it an inappropriate function for the diplomatic arm, because "gentlemen don't read each other's mail".) The FBI was responsible for domestic security and anti-espionage operations.
World War II (WWII or WW2), also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945, although related conflicts began earlier. It involved the vast majority of the world's nations—including all of the great powers—eventually forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the most widespread war in history, and directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. In a state of "total war", the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by mass deaths of civilians, including the Holocaust (in which approximately 11 million people were killed) and the strategic bombing of industrial and population centres (in which approximately one million were killed, and which included the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki), it resulted in an estimated 50 million to 85 million fatalities. These made World War II the deadliest conflict in human history.
Strategic service management (SSM) is a business strategy that aims to optimize the post-sales service that a company provides, by synchronizing service parts and resources forecasting, service partners, workforce technicians, and service pricing. Benefits of strategic service management can include:
Using strategic service management, Avaya reduced service parts inventory from $250 million to $160 million, Sun Microsystems saved $40 million in the first year, and Dell grew service revenues over 20% in one year.
Service management in the manufacturing context, is integrated into supply chain management as the intersection between the actual sales and the customer. The aim of high performance service management is to optimize the service-intensive supply chains, which are usually more complex than the typical finished-goods supply chain. Most service-intensive supply chains require larger inventories and tighter integration with field service and third parties. They also must accommodate inconsistent and uncertain demand by establishing more advanced information and product flows. Moreover, all processes must be coordinated across numerous service locations with large numbers of parts and multiple levels in the supply chain.
Among typical manufacturers, post-sale services (maintenance, repair and parts) account for less than 20 percent of revenue. But among the most innovative companies in service, those same activities often generate more than 50 percent of the profits.

The strategic ‘Baggage as a service’ initiative is conducted under the guidance of ACI-Europe, and in cooperation with the PASSME project supervised by Delft University, Vanderlande and Schiphol Group. It focuses on three key areas: the development of airport baggage infrastructure (internal and external), the development of necessary IT support and assessing future passenger demands and the role of social media. The programme is geared towards identifying solutions that extend beyond existing optimisation programmes; passenger-oriented and creating innovative business models. This requires involvement from all partners in the baggage chain, including airports, airlines, handlers, IT and other service providers. Baggage as a service aims to develop a strategic baggage innovation agenda...

Reading webinar presented by: Lam Wee Wah. Cloud computing has emerged as a dominant paradigm, widely adopted by enterprises today. Together with the rapid development of Cloud Computing, several related technological areas have also proliferated into a mega-scale web of complex enterprise challenges such as those arising from Big Data, Mobile Computing, Internet Governance, IT Security and the Internet of Things. This means that enterprises now have a lot to manage and are often clueless about how enterprise resources should be managed to gain the maximum benefits and lower negative risks. To make the situation worse, many a times, many enterprises are finding themselves wasting resources on areas that do not really matter after all. As they do not know what they do not know, enterprises...

Tony Robbins discusses how to make strategic innovation part of your company culture so that you are constantly improving your processes, products or services in a way that creates real value. If you want to be a leader in your industry, you must be constantly looking for ways to create something more, new or better than what currently exists. Because consumers are no longer impressed with a new feature or service for very long — they expect a constant evolution of improvement or they will go elsewhere. And it doesn’t stop there. If all you do is innovate, you’re going to be out of business. You have to figure out a way to innovate in a way that’s profitable and in a way that the customer will care enough to pay for the innovation — that’s what Tony Robbins calls strategic innovation.

This workshop discusses lifecycle service options that provide parts, repairs, training, and technical support to keep production running. Response time, cost, and downtime are typical key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor effectiveness, yet are lagging indicators for corrective actions and problem resolution. Addressing higher-level objectives, such as ROI, capacity, system lifecycle, and resource utilization, requires a systematic approach to managing automation performance and total ownership cost (TOC).
