Richard Owen

    20. Juli 1804 – 18. Dezember 1892

    Richard Owen war ein englischer Biologe, vergleichender Anatom und Paläontologe, der vor allem für die Prägung des Begriffs Dinosauria bekannt ist. Obwohl er an die Evolution glaubte, stellte Owen Darwins Theorie der natürlichen Auslese in Frage und schlug einen komplexeren evolutionären Prozess vor. Seine Arbeit nahm die moderne Evolutionsentwicklungsbiologie vorweg, und er war maßgeblich an der Gründung des Natural History Museum in London beteiligt, wodurch er den Zweck von Museen für immer veränderte. Owens Vermächtnis liegt in seinen wissenschaftlichen Entdeckungen und seinem Einfluss auf öffentliche Institutionen.

      Fred Reichheld's 2006 book The Ultimate Question, that question being, "How likely is it that you would recommend this company to a friend or colleague?"-challenged the conventional wisdom of customer satisfaction programs. It coined the terms 'bad profits' and 'good profits' and pointed to a faster, much more accurate way of gauging customers' real loyalty to a company, introducing a quantitative measure (the Net Promoter Score) for establishing a baseline and effectively tracking changes going forward. Richard Owen and Laura Brooks are co-developers, along with Reichheld, of the methodology behind answering the question. In this book, Owen and Brooks tell how based on a variety of real case studies' to actually embed Net Promoter discipline in organizations of all types.
