09:30am Service Excellence, Productivity & Profitability – Can Service Innovation Deliver on All Three Dimensions?

Professor Jochen Wirtz Ph.D. Professor of Marketing,
Director UCLA – NUS Executive MBA Programme

The ability to pursue both differentiation through service excellence and cost leadership in services is particularly difficult because the characteristics of services - among them distributed operations, simultaneous production and consumption, and customization - make economies of scale and productivity gains hard to achieve.

The purpose of this presentation is to explore five potential strategies firms can pursue to achieve cost-effective service excellence: [1] Generic cost-reduction strategies, [2] a dual culture approach, [3] systems and technology that enable employees, [4] customer self-service and/or co-creation that is enabled through self-service technologies (SSTs), and [5] the focused service factory.

10:00am Design Thinking and Service Innovation - The KTPH Journey

Mrs Chew Kwee Tiang CEO, Khoo Teck Puat Hospital

Our journey started in 2004, when the former Minister for Health, Mr Khaw Boon Wan tasked the Alexandra Hospital management team with building the hospital in Yishun. The challenge thrown at us was to design with patients at the centre, exploiting technology for the benefits and convenience of patients and enable seamless care.

We see this as a challenge to transform healthcare delivery.

Our insight into the lifelong healthcare needs of a typical Singaporean led us to design a care concept model to enable a head-to-toe lifelong anticipatory healthcare of the whole person.

This presentation will elaborate on 4 key areas that drive our innovation efforts:

  • Building a health promoting hospital
  • Improving community health
  • Enabling ageing-in-place
  • Designing a hassle free healthcare experience

Our approach in innovation is to learn from everyone, agree on what the customer values, design quick prototypes and do what we can with what we have.
