Sustaining “mindsets” requires “like-minded”
Sustaining “innovation” requires “depth-diversity-inclusion”
Sustaining above requires “lifelong learning – interaction & change”
Sustaining people requires “rhythmic cycles” – breath, drink & eat, sleep, etc.

“service innovations improve win-win interactions and change in business and society”
Join ISSIP to network with service innovation professionals and upcoming students,
while growing your knowledge sharing eminence about service systems/responsible actors,
in a non-profit professional association that promotes lifelong learning and T-shaped upskilling.
“everyone has something to learn, everyone has something to share”
Service – The application of resources (e.g., knowledge) for the benefit of another.
Service Innovations – Improvements in win-win interactions and change in business and society.
Win-Win– Service-for-service exchange, also called value co-creation interactions between actors.
Responsible Actors – individuals, businesses, universities, governments, also called service system entities.
Eminence – Professional reputation that comes from learning to invest more wisely in service innovations.
ISSIP helps members learn to invest more systematically in service innovations that matter.

13. Today’s Talk
• Understanding “service” is key.
• The pandemic accelerated the
digital transformation of
business and society.
• The “future of AI” is about to
accelerate the digital
transformation further.
• Our species' test – put simply -
is to achieve UN Sustainable
Development Goals.
Service is the the
application of resources
(e.g., knowledge) for the
benefit of another.
Service innovations
improve interaction and
change in business and
society. Service innovations
come in six main flavors.
The “future of AI” will be
responsible actors (service
system entities becoming
X+AI) learning to invest
systematically and wisely in
becoming better future
versions of themselves,
while inventing resilient
and equitable non-zero-
sum games.

The Three Ages of Man (Giorgione)
Thanks to Alan Hartman for kind inspiration (slides) (recording)
Service is an actor applying resources (e.g., knowledge) to benefit another
Service system entities are responsible actors that give and get service
(e.g., people, businesses, universities, nations, etc.)
Service science studies service systems as an evolving ecology
of responsible actors that interact and change.
Service innovations improve win-win interaction and change
in business and society
Service systems are dynamic configurations of four types of resources
