| The International Society of Service Innovation Professionals, ISSIP.org (pronounced i-Zip), is a democratically-run non-profit organization. Individual and institutional members work together to expand career options for service innovators while impacting business and society through new and improved service innovations. Within the last decade service innovation has become a focus of businesses and nations seeking ways to improve productivity, quality, compliance, sustainability, and other KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) of value co-creation between customers, providers, and other stakeholders. As a result, many existing professionals associations have added service science-related special interest groups or conference focus areas (e.g., AMA, INFORMS, AIS, ACM, IEEE, IIE, INCOSE, AHFE, etc.). ISSIP exists to connect these diverse professional associations and support their conferences and publications, linking members from academia, industry, government, and the social sector. read more.. |
