The Service Innovator-Tying It All Together
內容大綱
This book asks: (1) How is the service sector growing; (2) what is service innovation; (3) what are the drivers of service innovation; and (4) how can organizations innovate service in a structured way? The book views service as the value-creating activity of customers. The role of a company is to provide the resources and knowledge to enable value creation. We develop a model of service innovation. We also develop guidelines for what is required from the organizational perspective: how should an organization view its customers to be successful, what does a service development process look like, and how to transform an organization that has a product focus to a service orientation. Chapter 7 summarizes many of the key insights from Chapters 1 through 6. Service innovation is different from new product development for goods. It is iterative and less structured than NPD for goods. Scientific inquiry and true experimentation are built into a good service innovation process. A deep understanding of customer needs and the value-creation process can be obtained only through direct observation and participation. Important customer knowledge cannot easily be shared; it becomes second nature and is contextual, tacit, or sticky knowledge that is not communicated even within an organization.
