Singapore Institute of Retail Studies
The Service Innovator Programme

To compete in the fast-paced, highly competitive market and maintain relevancy, it is crucial for organizations to innovate constantly. As highlighted in the February 2010 report from the Economic Strategies Committee, "In addition to innovation in products, we need to also make a concerted push in promoting innovation in services. This would complement our effort to develop Singapore as a Global-Asia Financial and Business Hub, and as a leading Consumer Business Centre.".



Service innovation is not only about going the extra mile for customers, but also about figuring out a way to provide service better than it’s ever been done before
