Personal User Manuals are all the rage in the business world today, but I think a one page manual isn't a real compelling format for others to get to know you so I tried something different and hopefully more engaging. Have you thought about the words that drive you at work? These are some great pointers I have learned, synthesized over the years, and borrowed from business luminaries. Tell me which ones you agree with and post your most important driving principles in feedback. Please be additive here and contribute to this topic.
As with all things that become fashionable more people are taking the next step from having an idea to pursuing a business start-up. The positive side of this is that there is a flood of new ideas which could lead to successful innovative businesses that solve a consumer need. However, before investing precious time and capital into the next great idea
we should put some rigour around selecting the one that
has a best chance of being successful.

Escaping the Marketing Morass
Joe Sinfield and Scott D. Anthony printed March-April 2007 | Volume 5 | Number 2
It is one of the holy grails of marketing: predictability in new product innovation. Yet again and again, smart companies spend tens of millions of dollars doing the best research they can do only to have products flop in the marketplace.
Our perspective is that the way that companies assess and analyze markets shoulders at least a portion of the blame for this unpredictability. Segmenting markets into demographic segments, or assuming that product categories divide the world, can consistently lead to offerings that don’t connect with consumers and miss opportunities for innovation. Companies continue to push for improvements along dimensions that overshoot consumer needs and then complain that commoditization has set in when looking at the market the right way can highlight attractive avenues for differentiation.
There must be a better way, one that allows companies to identify real opportunities that promise extraordinary returns. We believe that focusing on the “job” a customer is trying to get done can help companies break out of the marketing morass. This article describes how this jobs- to-be-done framework can help companies master the “innovation lifecycle,” improving their ability to spot high-growth opportunities, optimize existing products, and inject life into even the most stagnant categories. Jobs and the innovation life cycle
The concept of jobs to be done is described in Chapter 3 of Clayton Christensen’s 2003 book The Innovator’s
Solution
. The concept is simple. It holds that customers don’t really buy products, they hire them to get jobs done. To identify opportunities to create new growth, then, look first for important “jobs” that can’t be done satisfactorily with available solutions. You can think about a job as a problem a customer needs to solve. Remember the phrase attributed to Harvard Business School marketing guru Ted Levitt: “People don’t want a quarter-inch drill — they want a quarter-inch hole.”
For example, Intuit’s QuickBooks software makes it easy for small business owners to accomplish an important job: Make sure my business doesn’t run out of cash. Before Intuit’s innovation, existing alternatives, such as pen and paper and Excel spreadsheets, weren’t good enough to get this job done. Professional accounting software packages were actually too good — confusing and filled with unnecessary features. QuickBooks did the job better than any alternative and took over the category.
The jobs-to-be-done model is simple but powerful. It shifts focus from solutions that customers utilize to the problems they can’t adequately solve. Instead of categorizing customers into demographic groups that can be poor predictors of behavior, attitudes that might influence purchasing behavior, or activities that people currently perform (often because they have no better alternative), it zeros in on circumstances and.
