Norwegian Innovation Index (NII)

The Norwegian Innovation Index a systematic national measure of innovativeness as customers perceive it. Following a service-based understanding of value co-creation, the point of departure of the index is that customers—not managers or experts—are the best judges of the value of innovations. Accordingly, the Norwegian Innovation Index (NII) rests on two assumptions:
• countries cannot be innovative—companies can
• leaders and experts are not the final judges of innovations—customers are

The original index was developed by Tor W. Andreassen, Line Lervik-Olsen, and Seidali Kurtmollaiev from the Center for Service Innovation (CSI) at NHH-Norwegian School of Economics. The index has received significant interest among Norwegian companies and has since been applied also in the US in the form of the American Innovation Index (AII) and in Sweden as the Swedish Innovation Index (SII). There are several academic publications in progress in relation to the index and its methodology. In addition, the Aii’s team – Gina Woodall, Lerzan Aksoy, Tor W. Andreassen, Charles L. Colby, and Tim Keiningham — won the The Best Practitioner Presentation Award of the 2018 Frontiers in Service Conference.
