ISSIP is a worldwide community that promotes understanding and excellence in service innovation to benefit people, business and society.
We define ‘Service’ as the application of a resource (e.g. knowledge, goods, technology) for the benefit of others. As benefits are enjoyed by some, harms may also result. Both grow and scale, reshaping the ecosystem, and prompting ‘institutional arrangements,’ (e.g. laws, regulations, norms), to mitigate harms. As practices and business models change, service innovation occurs. As people centralized living patterns to form Cities, consolidated services from sewage and healthcare, to formalized education, arts and libraries emerged. In tandem with those benefits came heaping waste, crime and communicable disease. Automobiles enabled personal transport options and revolutionized industrial transportation, but brought pollution, traffic and physical hazards, prompting creation of safety regulations and ‘rules of the road.’
ISSIP is the global community for people involved in every aspect of that Service Innovation process – from inventive ideas to initial design, through engineering and construction, deployment or delivery of the good or service– creating benefits and regulating harm to connect, learn and grow. Together we recognize and advance innovation to sustainably benefit people, business and society.
