The document discusses service science and serviceology, providing an overview of the disciplines, associations, journals, conferences, and workshops related to service science. It also introduces the concept of next-generation "T-shaped" innovators and discusses how platform technologies and smarter service systems can accelerate the transformation of business and society. The document concludes by envisioning what the next decade may bring, including the transformation of education through MOOCs and the development of holistic service system modeling tools.

• The future is already here at universities, it is
just not yet well distributed
– With apologies to Gibson
• The best way to predict the future is to
inspired the next generation of students to
build it better
– With apologies to Kay

computers on campuses in the mid-1950s did
not come from the schools themselves or
from any federal agency, but instead from
IBM.”

23. Data Science
• “Data science incorporates varying elements
and builds on techniques and theories from
many fields… with the goal of extracting
meaning from data and creating data
products.”

28. NSF
A feature of a service system is the
participation and cooperation of the customer
in the service and its delivery. A service system
then requires an integration of knowledge and
technologies from a range of disciplines, often
including engineering, computer science, social
science, behavioral science, and cognitive
science, paired with market knowledge to
increase its social benefit.

Customers as Consumers

33. Innovation Framework
• Z2B = Zero to a Billion in Revenue in a under a Decade
– University startups (e.g., Google, Facebook, etc.)
– Challenge: Find a “Moore’s Law for Service System Scaling”
• Service Science Fundamentals
– Service is the application of knowledge for mutual benefit of
entities (value co-creation processes)
– Service innovations scale the benefits of new knowledge
globally, rapidly, and profitably
– Smart service systems include the customer, provider, and other
entities as sources of
capabilities, resources, demand, constraints, rights, responsibiliti
es in value co-creation processes
– Technology and organizational platforms support rapid scaling
processes (smart phones, franchises, etc.)

students – we can estimate that Harvard directly and indirectly accounted for nearly $4.8 billion in economic
activity in the Boston area in fiscal year 2008, and more than 44,000 jobs.”

77. Tomorrow: “I am the block that will be

1. Steam Engine
2. Conveyor Belt
3. IT and Automation (Phase 1)
4. Internet of Things/Logistics (Phase 2)
• “After the fourth industrial revolution, there will no
longer be a difference between information and
materials, because products will be inextricably linked
to “their” information.”

78. Today: Servitization
• Rolls Royce: “Power By The Hour”

79. Servitization
• Start with ay traditional product that is sold to customers
• Make the product part of a smart service system
– Instrument it (sensors)
– Set-up an intelligent operation center to monitor all products’
performance across their life-cycles
– Use big data analytics to determine how to improve product
performance, efficiency, maintenance, etc.
– Offer customer the “product-performance-as-a-service” with
financing
– Customer benefits from cost-savings, predictability
– Provider benefits margin-improvements, predictability
• The product becomes a platform technology for innovative
university startups that teach about it, and research it

120. Today’s Talk
• Vision: MMaaRRSS

–
Modular Manufacturing as a Regional Recirculation Service System
XaaS = Everything as a Service (value co-creation processes)
Near zero waste, everything is an input to some process
Doubling size of economy requires not only higher productivity
construction, but higher productivity deconstruction
• Trends: What’s In The News
– McKinsey, Servitization, My Tweets and Summary
• Innovation Framework: To get us there… and beyond!!!

–
Near Future: Platform Technologies and Smart Service Systems
Far Future: Utility Fog
More on Silicon Valley, IBM, Universities, and Smarter Planet
More on Service Science, Service Innovation, and ISSIP.org

121. Vision: MMaaRRSS
• Modular Manufacturing as a Regional
Recirculation Service System
– “I am the stuff that will be made into product X for
customer Y.”
– Stuff = Material, Energy, and Information Flows
– Minimize transport costs (for products and waste)
• The Vision: Circular Economy (~4 minutes)

Reasons Service Science Matters to Universities.

Actor Competitiveness Argument
• Vargo, S. L., & Akaka, M. A. (2009). Service-dominant logic
as a foundation for service science: clarifications. Service
Science, 1(1), 32-41.

125. A2A Interactions:
Competing for Collaborators
• Collaborators: Customers, Suppliers, Employees, Partners, etc.
• FP4 Operant Resources & FP9 Resource Integration
– Operant resources are the fundamental source of competitive advantage
– All social and economic actors are resource integrators
• From an upcoming Vargo & Lusch Publication:
– “Not only do business enterprises and households engage in resource
integration, transformation, and exchange of service, but government
agencies, schools, and a host of other nonprofit organizations do so as well.”
– “As a broad, abstract perspective, businesses, households, and other
organizations engage in the acquisition, integration, and transformation of
resources to create new resources and then use these new resources in
exchange with other actors to co-create value. This perspective begins to
direct attention to viewing businesses, households, and other organizations,
including nonprofits and governments, as essentially and abstractly identical.
This insight led us to define exchange and exchange systems in terms of actorto-actor (A2A) interactions.”

137. Service Science Article
Spohrer, J., Piciocchi, P., & Bassano, C. (2012). Three frameworks for service research: exploring
multilevel governance in nested, networked systems. Service Science, 4(2), 147-160.
If some entity architectures (EN and frameworks (FN) are better than others, then professionals working
to solve real-world problems (PRW) might benefit, and generate better sets of recommendations (RE).

138. Service Science
• The transdisciplinary study of service, the
application of knowledge for mutual benefits
(value co-creation phenomena), in an evolving
ecology of interacting many-tomany, nested, networked viable service
system entities.

139. Observations
• Every nation/state/city-university I talk to:
– We need help creating high skill, high pay jobs of the
future.
– We need help keeping our top talent from moving away
after graduation from university
• Every business I talk to:
– We need help scaling the benefits of new knowledge and
innovation globally, rapidly, profitably
– We need help making our employees and ecosystem more
innovative
– We would rather hire people with some entrepreneurial
experience (even if failed) than recent graduates, with no
entrepreneurial experience.
