4. Importance of services
Services are instrumental for the European economy
- Services accounted for 93% of value added growth between 1990 and 2006, and for
82% of total value added in 2006; services constituted 83% of total jobs in 2006;
and wage growth and skill levels are as high and higher in services than in
manufacturing (McKinsey Global Institute)
- Success of manufacturing depends on innovative services like design, marketing and
logistics as well as on product related after-sales services and vice versa.
- Utilisation of service innovation calls for improvement in supply-side drivers (skills,
financing), demand-side drivers (public demand, customer proximity) as well as enablers
(regulation, standardisation)
Services are a driver for industrial transformation
- Services disrupt traditional channels to market, business processes and models, and
enhance significantly customer experience in a way which impacts upon the value chain
as a whole.
- Service innovation is shaping emerging sectors, industries and markets and contributes
to structural change and industrial modernisation (The Smart Guide to Service
Innovation)

• The share of investments future economic growth
in particular intangible
asset categories is a good
indicator of the structure of
the economy
• Service innovations build
on intangible assets
directly and through the
role of complementarities
• Services go further than
manufacturing by offering,
and building in, more
intangibles such as
expertise, feedback from
experience, advice or
relevant training and
different thinking

7. What and how?
• ESIC demonstrates the structural impact of
service innovation in practice
• EC supported service that helps regions to:
1. Define a service-driven strategy for industrial transformation
2. Capture, measure and assess the impact of service innovation
3. Test, update and improve regional strategies
4. Design and implement better systemic policies
5. Mobilise a versatile network of service innovation intelligence

8. Key activities
1) Demonstrating the structural impact of service
innovation in practice -> European Service Innovation
Scoreboard (ESIS)
2) Helping six selected model demonstrator regions to test,
update and improve their policies
3) Gathering and disseminating information & lessons on
service innovation

9. European Service Innovation Scoreboard
• 59 indicators, grouped into 5 dimensions
- 1. wider framework conditions, 2. service innovation-input, 3.
throughput, 4. output and 5. outcomes
- Sources: Eurostat, Community Innovation Survey, Labour Force
Survey, European Values Survey
• Displays data on national and regional levels
- Covers 27 Member States and 270 regions

20. Lessons
1. Service innovation has an instrumental role in industrial
transformation and renewal - but this is difficult to grasp.
2. Holistic, systemic analyses are needed – ESIC has launched
and piloted new tools for this. A good start:
- Evidence on current standing & regional benchmarking
- Lessons on the design of systemic policies (LSD)
- Ensuring policies make impact on structures (transformation)
- Specific policies for service innovation
