Are you striving to innovate your services in the highly dynamic, digital era?

Are you worried about falling behind in the race towards digital transformation?

You are not alone. Your fellow leaders face similar challenges and are finding innovative ways to overcome them.

Join us at the Service Innovation Summit to:

  • Elevate your innovation game.
  • Find the winning edge to accelerate growth in the digital era.
  • Connect with peers, unveil groundbreaking strategies, and draw wisdom from industry leaders who have surmounted analogous hurdles.

Don't let this opportunity slip away. Break through the barriers of traditional services and unleash the true potential of service innovation in your organisation.

To drive growth, we must offer new innovative high-value services, capturing new market segments.

 

Driving growth through service innovation presents significant challenges:

  • Scarce resources for service development.
  • Absence of dedicated service product management teams.
  • Immature capability for service innovation and service product management.
  • Limited support from other functions and leadership.
  • Falling into the commodity trap, leading to standard and incomplete services.

Key topics we will discuss

Driving Service Innovation Strategy

Today's competitive landscape requires not just innovating for the present but also envisioning future growth. You can develop a robust and versatile service innovation strategy by focusing on a tri-fold timeline (today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow). 

We will discuss how to distinguish between different types of innovation and allocate resources accordingly, establishing a harmonious alignment with your broader service transformation strategy. 

The crucial importance of this strategy lies in its capacity to foster both immediate results and long-term prosperity while securing buy-in from key stakeholders.

Succeed With The Best Innovation Methodologies

In the rapidly evolving world of service provision, employing the right innovation methodology can be the cornerstone for success. The wide choice can often be overwhelming, so understanding and selecting the appropriate approach is essential.

We will discuss the various innovation methodologies — from business model innovation and ideation techniques to the Lean Start-Up approach, service design principles, and stage gate innovation — and delve into the scenarios, highlighting when each methodology shines and when it might be less applicable.

By mastering these methodologies, organizations can streamline their innovation processes, create relevant solutions, mitigate risks, and build a competitive position to drive growth.

New Service Introduction

Many new products and services fail due to poor introduction. This critical phase is about two core dimensions: preparing the internal organisation for a successful launch and commercialising the service to gain maximum market traction.

We will delve deep into strategies that ensure both:

  • Internal readiness: aligning teams, refining processes, and setting the right infrastructure.
  • Effective commercialisation:  positioning the service aptly in the market, pricing strategies, and stakeholder engagement.  

By mastering the nuances of service introduction, organisations can ensure a smooth internal transition while capitalising on market opportunities.

Agile Service Product Management

Agile service product management is crucial for staying competitive in the dynamic digital landscape.

This has a pivotal role in fulfilling customers' changing demands, driving service revenue and service transformation, and integration across functions like service innovations, marketing, and sales. Focusing on strategic, operational, and market aspects, it highlights the use of agile methodologies for rapid adaptation and effective service delivery.

We'll explore how this approach is key to successful service transformation and growth in the service business.

The smaller setting allows for much more focused and in-depth conversations. In this Service Transformation Summit, we go deep on a specific topic, I think it's beneficial, especially knowing that there will be other summits to cover other topics.

We got a lot of ideas, a lot of good examples. Some of them we can implement immediately. Some others we have to think about and see how it will work for us. This Summit has given us a kind of a long list of opportunities.

It is very interesting to discuss with your peers and also learn from each other how to break through the barriers and challenges. The Service Transformation Summit is really practitioners-only. So there are no vendors around trying to sell me. The big benefit is that you can be much more open up compared to some other events, without ending up in a marketing funnel.

What sets the Service Transformation Summit apart from other conferences is the small group. It's easier to interact with other participants, it's easier to get together and easier to deep-dive on the key topics with key people. So for me, that's what I appreciated.
