This research assessed the effect of learning orientation on innovative service development, business growth and profitability in the insurance sector. The study relied on the resource-based view (RBV) and the dynamic capabilities of a firm. Three hundred and five (305) top and middle managers of insurance firms, brokers and reinsurance within the Ghanaian setting were surveyed. The findings indicated that commitment to learning and shared-vision that define learning orientation indicate a positive and significant effect on innovative service development activities. Similarly, the results also showed that innovative service development has a significant and positive effect on business performance. The indirect effect was significantly positive, which buttresses the essence of ISD in the insurance sector. The study re-echoed that commitment to learning and shared vision necessitate insurance firms, brokers and reinsurance players to be more proactive in introducing innovative service development activities.
