SERVICE
Create winning products that reflect deep customer understanding
Summary
New Markets Advisors’ Product Development Consulting helps organizations define what to build next and how to bring it successfully to market. Grounded in the Jobs to be Done framework, our approach combines customer insight, competitive foresight, technology scanning, and business model design to produce a prioritized product roadmap. Unlike large firms focused on R&D efficiency, we tailor every engagement to your market, culture, and goals. The result is a customer-backed strategy that reduces risk, accelerates time-to-market, and delivers products that truly meet demand while driving profitable growth.
The Approach Behind Our New Product Definition Consulting
Truly great products and services don’t start with a tremendous idea; they start with the customer’s Jobs to be Done. This way of understanding customers was pioneered by our founder’s mentor and long-time collaborator, Harvard Business School Professor Clayton Christensen. It focuses on customers’ underlying motivations – in both B2C and B2B contexts – and drills into what will best motivate purchase and usage of new solutions. We match customer understanding with assessment of new technologies and fact-based analysis of business viability to define what products should do and what features are less necessary. Once all this is understood, ideas can flow quickly and be directed toward well-defined targets.
FEATURED WORKING PAPER
Jobs to be Done is a theory about how customers make decisions. It helps us understand why customers buy what they buy, allowing us to proactively design solutions that are more likely to succeed in the market. This working paper explains our step-by-step framework for using Jobs to be Done, and illustrates our process with four case studies across different industries.
