SANTA CLARA, CA, USA, April 9, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — The International Society of Service Innovation Professionals (ISSIP), the membership organization advancing Service Innovation for our interconnected world, today announced the winners of the 2024 Excellence in Service Innovation and Distinguished Recognition Awards.
The ISSIP Excellence in Service Innovation award is given to an organization that has designed, developed, or deployed an innovation that will benefit business, society or innovation itself. Submissions undergo rigorous evaluation by ISSIP’s Awards Committee, composed of experts from industry and academia not affiliated with the submitting companies. Submissions are scored on the uniqueness, creativity, technical merit, value generation and impact of the innovative solution in each of three categories: ‘impact to business,’ ‘impact to society’ and ‘impact to innovation.’
“We are pleased to recognize the excellence of service innovation efforts underway in the ISSIP community. This year’s submissions represented the best of industry, academia, NGO and government entities, with initiatives calibrated to benefit people, business and/or society in meaningful ways,” said Deb Stokes of Dell Technologies, and 2024 President of ISSIP.
My thanks to the ISSIP community for submitting this year’s highly impressive crop of innovations, and to our seven-judge panel for making the time to rigorously evaluate, rank and score the submissions,” said Haroon Abbu (Bell & Howell SVP Digital and Data Analytics, and ISSIP Awards Chairperson).
Each award winning organization and team is invited to share their innovation project or initiative with the ISSIP Community, in ISSIP’s Weekly Speaker Series in the coming months. Recordings will be uploaded to ISSIP Youtube and the slides uploaded to ISSIP Slideshare, to foster learning and growth for all.
