Succeeding at services - innovation with the customer in focus

The presentation is about shifting the focus from product to creating value for the customer and thus creating new business opportunities.

To succeed in this, companies need to understand the market and how it is changing. You also need to understand what customers' everyday life looks like and how to find solutions that make life easier for the customer. It can e.g. is about creating value in the form of time savings, user-friendliness or increased availability.

All this and more will be discussed based on practical examples, research, and the Swedish Innovation Index.

What is Tjiva?

TJIVA is the first accelerator in Sweden, and probably also in Europe, focusing entirely on small and medium-sized service companies and manufacturing companies that want to increase the service content of their products.
