    Service Innovation at Abbott Medical Optics

    Abbott Medical Optics (AMO) was losing customers due to poor customer service. The company, a strong technical innovator, knew it needed to apply the same scientific rigor to service innovation. Working with Strategyn, AMO used the Outcome-Driven Innovation process to discover unique service innovation opportunities.

    Understanding the customers needs, Strategyn led a team of AMO sales, technical support, customer service, accounts payable, logistics and IT infrastructure managers through the process of developing innovative solutions to satisfy the most promising opportunities.

    The result? AMO realized a 10 percent increase in its Net Promoter score and a 14 percent increase in its customer loyalty index in the year following the introduction of the new innovations -- and won a prestigious award for world-class customer service.

"...The value of ODI analysis goes far beyond new product development.  Other strategic uses: obsolescence planning; technology development strategy; and BD&L inbound and outbound.  ODI is a strategic tool which should be used to direct where a company allocates its resources."

"Your two-day workshop was one of the most productive seminars I've attended. We were looking for a systematic process to identify customer needs, and that's what was delivered. Many so-called experts preach a theory for innovation, with little practical experience. I was encouraged by your experience with implementing the process."
