To get an edge on the competition, you need to start with your most important factor: your customer. Our Jobs to be Done methods cut deep to your customer’s functional and emotional motivations and give unparalleled insights into why people behave the way they do. Knowing your customers’ Jobs to be Done can redefine your landscape of opportunities in product development, sales strategy, as well as branding and messaging. It can redefine and re-segment your market. It ensures that your solutions are truly customer-centric.

Jobs to be Done are the underlying tasks that people are trying to get done in their lives – whether they are B2C or B2B customers. They explain the “why” behind customer behavior, rather than focusing on what customers buy today or what their stated preferences are. They explain how ice cream, for example, is not just a sweet treat, but also a unique way to bond, celebrate, and console. Understanding what needs your customers are trying to fill, both functional and emotional, as well as the journey map to get there, can help your team ask the right questions and broaden the range of solutions.

Understand Your Customers and Shifting Trends in Your Market

Over the past dozen years, our firm has developed and refined a unique way to turn the theory of Jobs to be Done into winning innovations, product strategies, and actionable business plans.

We now stand as a global leader in Jobs to be Done, having a long trajectory applying it to hundreds of contexts and helping companies outperform their competitors. Our team has written extensively on the subject, including in our award-winning book: Jobs to be Done: A Roadmap for Customer-Centered Innovation
