Understanding Services Is a Life Skill -Not Just a Business Skill

Services shape our lives in ways we often overlook.

From healthcare appointments and education platforms to transportation, financial advice, digital subscriptions, and home services—services quietly influence nearly every decision we make, both personally and professionally. Yet despite their impact, most people are never taught how services work, how to evaluate them, or how to make informed choices about them.

As the global economy continues its shift toward service-based models, one reality is becoming clear:

Understanding services is no longer just a business skill—it’s a life skill.

Services Influence More Than We Realize

Services are no longer limited to corporate settings or professional environments. They affect:

  • How we manage our health
     
  • How we learn new skills
     
  • How we earn income
     
  • How we outsource tasks
     
  • How we solve everyday problems
     
  • How societies function at scale
     

According to the World Economic Forum’s work on future skills, service-related knowledge—such as evaluation, coordination, and decision-making—has become essential in modern life. People are expected to navigate complex service ecosystems without ever being taught how they work.

This knowledge gap leads to:

  • Poor choices
     
  • Missed opportunities
     
  • Wasted time and money
     
  • Dependency without understanding
     

Education Around Services Is Becoming Essential

In a world driven by platforms, subscriptions, and service providers, people are no longer just consumers—they are participants in service systems.

Yet many still struggle to answer basic questions:

  • What type of service do I actually need?
     
  • What does “good service” look like?
     
  • What should I expect from a provider?
     
  • How do I compare services fairly?
     
  • How do services evolve over time?
     

UNESCO’s emphasis on lifelong learning highlights the importance of continuous education beyond traditional classrooms. Understanding services fits squarely into this vision—because service decisions don’t stop after school or at work. They happen every day, for a lifetime.
