Product Innovation is familiar to us all. Services Innovation presents a different challenge. The output of services is often less tangible, harder to articulate and test. Yet the need to maximise and capitalise on the growth of Services in our economy requires real innovation to meet the ongoing, ever-present, and insatiable demands from customers, users and providers. This briefing will outline Innovation in Services and the supports available, whilst also giving some real, tangible examples and ideas of where Innovation in Services is making a real difference.
In association with the South East Chambers.
