This deck was presented on 28th January 2017 at Chiang Mai Startup Events. It covers questions such as "What is JTBD framework"? and "How does JTBD help businesses understand the WHY rather than the WHAT?" It is based on Tony Ulwick's presentation.
Getting started with Job to be Done researchFirmhouse
To build a successful new product or service you need to make something people will buy. Jobs to be Done help you to understand why people buy the products they do, and make something they will be willing to pay a premium price for. Learn how, at our Jobs to be Done workshop. We run our workshop monthly, more information: https://goo.gl/jvhnVM
An introduction to the Jobs to Be Done customer research/insights framework, with a focus on how product managers can put Jobs to Be Done into practice with key tools such as customer interviews, surveys, prototyping, and A/B testing.
The concept of jobs to be done (JTBD) provides a lens for understanding value creation. It’s straightforward principle: people “hire” products to fulfill a need.
For instance, you might hire a new suit to make you look good at a job interview. Or, you hire Facebook to stay in touch with friends. You could also hire a chocolate bar to relieve stress.
Viewing customers in this way – as goal-driven actors in a given context – shifts focus from psycho-demographic aspects to needs and motivations.
Although the theory of JTBD is rich and has a long history, practical approaches to applying the approach are largely missing. In this presentation, Jim will highlight concrete ways to apply JTBD in your work. This will not only help you design better solutions, but also enable you to contribute to broader strategic conversations.
Presented at Business of Software USA, Tony Ulwick (Strategyn) shares insights on how to deliver products that do useful jobs for customers, practical steps you can take to discover these jobs and strategies for success.
Watch if you are involved in product strategy or development, or simply want to make something great for your customers.

Who:
Brian Rhea (Product Lead at Revve) and Jason Hall (Chief Revenue Officer at Mocavo) have been actively practicing the JTBD framework and have implemented a number of their findings in their respective roles.
How:
In this workshop, we will present an overview of the JTBD framework, the main tools (forces diagram & timeline) and then conduct a JTBD interview with an audience participant to show you how it's done.
Integrating JTBD into existing tools & frameworks / Jobs-to-be-Done Meetup Be...Martin Jordan
How do you link the Jobs-to-be-Done approach to the tools, methods and frameworks you are already using? After investigating the JTBD framework, the timeline, the four motivational forces and the retrospective interview technique, we spent an evening discussing the connections and possible integrations with related fields and disciplines, including:
• Value creation (marketing)
• Value proposition canvas & business model canvas (business design & modelling)
• Market segmentation (marketing)
• How might we questions (design thinking & ideation)
• Customer journey map (service design & development)
How to Make Products People Want: The Outcome-Driven Approach To InnovationJean-Francois Hector
Most digital innovations fail because teams lose sight of what customers really want to achieve.
Outcome-Driven Innovation is a powerful way of thinking that puts your customers’ needs at the centre of every conversation.
This simple method will give you the clarity you need to focus on the right opportunities and make better design decisions.
The Customer Job To Be Done Canvas - PrototypeHelge Tennø
At an increasing rate (according to IBM C-Suite studies) companies are seeing that they need to figure out ways to put the customer at the center of their attention and decisions. But do businesses have the data or insight to put them there?
In the MIT Sloan Management Review article Finding The Right Product For Your Product Clayton M. Christensen, Scott D. Anthony, Gerald Berstell and Denise Nitterhouse discusses the idea of understanding what jobs customers are trying to solve and then figuring out the reason people are pulling the product into these jobs.
As many others I am currently prototyping a tool for this theory (Work-In-Progress) and my work so far can be seen and downloaded here.
I'm employing the same strategies towards my own business as I do with my clients, therefore the tool is still just a prototype being redesigned and redesigned again. But hopefully there are people out there interested in trying the tool out, give feedback and help on the way forward. This tool is not a parking lot for an idea - but a continuous, hopefully never-ending process.
Capturing Contexts: A workshop with jobs-to-be-done tools / Service Experienc...Martin Jordan
Customers hire services and products to do a certain job. Once people spot a job in their life they start looking for a solution, an offering that helps them to get the job done. Which offering they eventually hire often depends on the circumstances in which the job occurs.
This workshop highlighted the importance of customers’ situations and contexts when creating new offerings. As circumstances are changing, people’s related needs and desired outcomes do too. Using the example of food-related services, the workshop at Service Experience Camp 2015 illustrated how all offerings fulfil the general need of feeding humans, but also which specific situations each service caters for.
The workshop was run by Andrej Balaz, Hannes Jentsch and Martin Jordan on November 14, 2015 at Service Experience Camp in Kalkscheune in Berlin-Mitte.
Using jobs-to-be-done to design better user experiences (UX Cambridge 2017)Neil Turner
"People don’t want to buy a quarter-inch drill. They want a quarter-inch hole." (Theodore Levitt, Harvard marketing professor). Jobs-to-be-done is one of those concepts that intuitively makes so much sense, and yet still isn’t that widely known or used. The idea that you should focus on the job that someone is trying to do, rather than just the means of achieving , is not a revolutionary one, but is nonetheless incredibly powerful and insightful. As Clay Christensen, one of the fellow architects of jobs-to-be-done, has said, "In hindsight the job to be done is usually as obvious as the air we breathe. Once they are known, what to improve (and not to improve) is just as obvious".
This interactive and hands-on workshop, from UX Cambridge 2017 covers how to use jobs-to-be-done to not only come up with innovative ideas, but to research and design better user experiences, regardless of whether someone is starting from a blank sheet, or improving an existing product or service.
It includes how to identify jobs-to-be-done, how to use job stories to help frame jobs-to-be-done and how to enhance personas, user journey maps and even user stories using jobs-to-be-done.
The concept of jobs to be done provides a lens through which we can understand value creation. The term was made popular by business leader Clayton Christensen in The Innovator’s Solution, the follow-up to his landmark book The Innovator’s Dilemma.
It’s a straightforward principle: people “hire” products and services to get a job done.
For instance, you might hire a new suit to make you look good for a job interview. Or, you hire Facebook to stay in touch with friends on a daily basis. You could also hire a chocolate bar to reward yourself after work. These are all jobs to be done.
Although companies like Strategyn and The Rewired Group have been using the JTBD for many years, the framework has gotten a lot of attention recently. I’ve been fortunate to have worked with JTBD in various contexts in the past, and I included the topic in throughout my new book, Mapping Experiences.
Service Design Drinks Warsaw #1 / Uncovering the job your service is hired forMartin Jordan
People are not interested in the service you are designing. They are interested in what it does for them – or which job it helps them to get done. They don’t really care about your banking, transportation or web service. But they do care about the outcome they are able to achieve with it. Today’s most successful services understand and address people’s key 'jobs', they support them in achieving their desired outcomes better than with other available solution.
The Jobs-to-be-Done (JTBD) perspective on service shifts the focus from service provision to enabling customers to accomplish a goal or resolve a problem. Customer jobs can not only have functional, but also social or personal aspects. For service managers, innovators and designers, a JTBD approach enriches existing tools and methods in research, design and marketing. These help them to understand customers better and eventually create significantly improved offerings.
This presentation was given on March 30, 2016 at first Service Design Drinks in Warsaw.
My motto this year is "Evolve & Disrupt". I did a couple of keynotes on the matter recently, so I'm sharing this presentation to illustrate how I handle the "fuzzy front-end" of product development, aside from the Lean Startup stuff everybody talks about. Don't be fooled by the funny (and a bit irreverent) cartoons; Jobs To Be Done is a major breakthrough with a lot of practical applications. I have been working solidly on it for the last year and it is totally influencing how I see the world.
Important elements of this presentation are better covered in my later presentation titled "What Is Jobs-To-Be-Done?" I recommend that readers start with that.
Are you an innovator, entrepreneur or product manager? Do you want to understand what causes people to purchase, adopt and re-purchase products and services? This presentation gives you an introduction to Jobs-To-Be-Done—a theory of the market that seeks to answer these questions and more.
Jobs to be Done is best described as a perspective through which new product ideas can be evaluated for usefulness and viability. Understanding your customers’ Jobs to be Done helps determine what specific needs, pain points, or problems to focus on during the innovation process.
The theory of Jobs to be Done was developed by Tony Ulwick and later by Clayton Christensen of Harvard Business School as a complement to his theory of disruptive innovation. Jobs to be Done is a lens through which companies can view their innovation initiatives. People buy products and services to get a “job” done, and the products that are successful are those which help the customer get a job done faster, more easily and less expensively. When a company understands in detail what a functional job is, it is more likely to be able to create solutions to help the customer get a job done more effectively. When the customer can get a job done more easily with a given product, the product will likely be more successful.
Use the templates to identify your customers’ most important jobs to be done and then rank order them to determine the most important jobs to address as part of your innovation efforts.

UX in the Age of AI: Where Does Design Fit In? Fluxible 2017Carol Smith
Cognitive computing and machine learning are not new concepts, but they are new to most UX’ers. Carol Smith addresses questions about artificial intelligence (AI) such as:
- What are these terms and technologies and how do they work?
- How can we take advantage of these powerful systems to help our users?
- Should I be concerned that computers will take over the world soon? Spoiler: It is extremely unlikely.
Once this baseline understanding is established, we’ll look at examples of AI in use and discuss the relevancy of design work in the age of AI. Additionally, we’ll explore the ethical challenges inherent with the use of AI from the user’s perspective, specifically regarding trust and transparency.
This was presented at Fluxible 2017 in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada on 23 Sept 2017.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
