Science – We are in the business of the science of services – we base our understanding of effective services on research and objective criteria, not just platitudes Significance – We are in the business of developing and sharing what works in the real business world, not just pure theory. Symbiosis – We are in the business of building a cross-industry and cross-functional network of companies and academics who can help each other discover fresh ways to compete through service – not just business as usual.
