What is Service and Service Innovation
1. Service is the application of resources (e.g., knowledge) for the benefit of another
2. Service innovations improve win-win interaction and change for individual, business, and societal wellbeing
3. Service innovations increase the number of “good days” of interaction and change, while reducing the number of “bad days”
4. Service innovations happen as responsible actors learn to invest (systematically) in becoming better future versions of themselves
5. Responsible actors are viewed as service systems that give and get service include individual people, businesses, universities, governments, etc.
6. Advanced technologies and new regulations are two key drivers of change in the way actors interact (e.g.,, smartphones, GDPR)
7. Upskilling of people is also a key driver of change in the way actors interact (e.g., growth mindset, agile, service design, data science, system thinking, open source, etc.)
