ISSIP Past Discovery Summits

ISSIP Discovery Summits are working sessions where industry experts, leading academic researchers, and policy influencers come together for ‘deep-dive’ discussion of an intersection of leading-edge technology and total user experience, and explore how institutions and individuals can leverage the service innovation opportunities that exist at these intersections.

2022 Discovery Summit – The Future of Expertise

In September, 2022, ISSIP hosted the 2nd in our 2-part Discovery Summit series exploringes the Future of Expertise, at speed, scale, and complexity w IBM, Cisco, Resilinc, Waltz Health, NYU/Harvard, Aachen University

Industry struggles to hire the adaptive talent needed to keep up with accelerating change and to digitally transform operations and ecosystems. Universities struggle to successfully graduate increasingly diverse individuals with needed skills, experience, and mindsets to hit-the-ground-running and succeed, even as some question the need for a university education. Governments realize that the sustainable wealth of nations depends more than ever on high-skill, high-pay, highly-engaged workers within their borders. Simultaneously, individuals face a dizzying array of ‘opportunities’ to up-skill for more pay, but struggle to choose the best path for quality-of-life. New technologies and a host of disruptive and impending world events, only add to the complexity of this important topic – the future of expertise.
