Every company must innovate, to grow, to gain competitive advantage and create value. Technology innovation alone is no longer sufficient. Leading companies are investing in people-centered, data-intensive innovation.  This integrated approach to technology, data, business models, and the people operating in them to co-create value with customers and other stakeholders is known as “Service Innovation”.

The International Society of Service Innovation Professionals (ISSIP), recognizes and supports development of this people-centered, data-intensive innovation that benefits business and society in our interconnected world.
Invest in Innovation: Yours and Your Company’s

Innovation is not a talent reserved for the lucky few, but a set of skills and methodologies you can develop and master. Success will increasingly depend on the peoples’ ability of to combine customer centricity, empathy, and critical thinking skills with technical and computing knowledge. ISSIP provides the forum and resources for that important development.
