BVA + Accelerator

Driving enterprise value with superior experiences.

Overview
AMN (NYSE: AMN) is a multi-billion dollar healthcare staffing business that provides a wide range of strategic workforce management solutions.

The organization needed to modernize its product & GTM strategy to align with current market dynamics. Over a three-year period, AMN partnered Thinktiv for a comprehensive CX/UX transformation and process digitization initiative. This dramatically accelerated AMN’s growth and profitability.

BUSINESS VALUE ARCHITECTURE

Thinktiv’s foundational BVA identified the most impactful digital transformation initiatives across the company. Thinktiv also provided M&A advisory, executive advisory, and Roadmap & Practice Alignment services.

PRODUCT ACCELERATION

Thinktiv then executed 12 separate process UX and design programs, across 8 operating units over a three year period. A large portion of our work supported internal product innovation.

PROGRAM IMPACT

Thinktiv's efforts resulted in substantial revenue growth and significant cost savings through digital transformation initiatives. AMN stock has repeatedly hit all-time highs based on expanding profitability.

Business value architecture
Aligning a diverse service suite to a single category-leader narrative.
Problems to Solve
AMN regularly acquired high-potential companies across the healthcare staffing and technology space as part of its core growth strategy.

To rapidly drive time-to-value for its acquisitions, AMN required competitive positioning and messaging to unify its portfolio and enter entirely new markets.
How We Solved Them
Across verticals, including revenue cycle management and special education school staffing, Thinktiv positioned AMN to successfully enter new markets with a superior narrative for competing against incumbent players.

Thinktiv also identified processes ripe for modernization and streamlining. For example, Credentialing growth was significantly handicapped by a highly manual process, and scheduling was a major resource drain that utilized non-intuitive and slow software.

Within its new and re-casted service offerings, AMN has won several best-in-class industry awards after its work with Thinktiv.
Positioning solutions as category leaders
Thinktiv’s messaging and positioning strategy for AMN’s Workforce Solutions created immediate ROI with 'in-flight' modifications (representing $100M in revenue), maximized the win rate, and protected against deal losses and attrition. Our systemized GTM roadmap aligned content to sales enablement needs, identified key selling opportunities, empowered leaders through training & best-practice coaching, and accelerated adoption across the organization.
Mergers and Acquisitions
In matters of weeks, Thinktiv positioned AMN to break into new markets with a highly differentiated narrative to compete against incumbents. In the Revenue Cycle Management space, we supported the parallel merger and acquisition of two key players to be reintroduced to market as AMN Revenue Cycle Solutions. Leveraging its new positioning and messaging, the combined entity went on to win three Best in KLAS Awards for Outsourced Coding.

Decreasing revenue left on the table
Thinktiv architected a 72% increase in weekly revenue generated on AMN Hub by aligning clinician supply with client demand. Our product strategy empowered recruiters with data and knowledge to prioritize valuable clinicians and clients, while also designing a gamified workflow that encouraged clinicians to pick up their first 5 shifts, leading to improved clinician retention and lifetime value.

Product Value Acceleration
Driving top-line growth through digital transformation.
Problems to Solve
Over the years AMN had acquired a large portfolio of medtech companies via M&A, and many (if not all) had legacy or antiquated products.

Significant workplace fatigue, high-stress deadlines, and a non-digitally native workflow contributed to high turnover and re-training costs. Lack of staff or automation led to long lead times, inconsistent approaches, and missed deadlines, which all lead to unhappy customers.
How We Solved Them
Thinktiv performed 12 separate process UX engagements, spanning across medical staffing, revenue cycle management, special education school staffing, and more.

Over a three-year period, these initiatives slashed OpEx and dramatically increased the velocity of new AMN acquisitions and core operations.
scheduling product
Thinktiv leveraged best-practice methods to build a maximally impactful scheduling product. User experience and interface design were prioritized to decrease friction and improve adoption, resulting in an increased fill rate and decreased time to fill open shifts. Additionally, Thinktiv’s support and enablement playbook helped to de-risk the roll-out and put the product on a pathway of continuous improvement and optimization.
Package Generation + Credentialing
Thinktiv designed a new experience for Credentialing Analysts to successfully do their work at 6x the speed, with new workflows that transformed 30+ minutes of work into 5 minutes or less. This greatly helped reduce employee churn and increased AMN’s speed and volume for processing credentials and staff medical facilities.
Value-Centered Digital Transformation
Thinktiv developed a C-Suite sponsored, highly strategic and long-term digital transformation and strategy program.

UX/UI Design System
Thinktiv unified AMN’s suite of legacy products – acquired across M&As – by implementing a transformative design system that delivered frictionless user experiences with modernized interfaces. This new design language enabled AMN to unify future acquisitions, rapidly deploy new products to market, and better retain customers.
