Hi everyone, I am trying to collect some data to help me prioritize the extensive industry-related JTBD research that I’m doing for my JTBD Pyramid. The goal is to help all of us bypass expensive consulting projects and get to directional strategic answers faster and more cheaply. Much more cheaply. To do this, I need to focus and accelerate. TakeSurvey This survey will take you about 5 minutes max and it will benefit all of us. You will be on the list for early access to the results of the survey, the results of the ultimate research, and in the shorter term you’ll receive an email for a 40 ..read more

Do You Have a Complete Understanding of CX?

Before I begin, a lot of research professionals have taken the AI prompts from my Masterclass to help them pre-build product and service innovation, customer experience, and messaging research catalogs. I’ve stripped out the fluff and and created a bundle of just the prompts to provide an even faster and cheaper version. Still explained, but no videos. Your professional competitors are using these to gain an advantage. I hope you’ll consider giving them a shot, or sharing them with a friend who might benefit. Here’s a link to the new bundle called The Complete Guide to JTBD + Artificial Intel ..read more

This Free JTBD Toolkit Elevates Journey Mapping & Analysis

Quite a few people are beginning to realize that Jobs-to-be-Done has application beyond product innovation. There is an entire consumption chain of potential jobs that relate directly to your customers' experience with your brand. In fact, most businesses are focused intently on this. So, I thought I would create a done-for-you catalog of Universal Consumption Jobs (aka Customer Journeys). I used my own toolset to do this quickly, and inexpensively. Here's what it includes... A complete Job Map for each journey. A complete set of 20 Success Metrics for each journey step&n ..read more

I hope you enjoy this multi-media format (I call it blog-casting). I want you to hear me tell you my thoughts directly but I also want you to have access to the slideware - and I wanted to memorialize it on my blog, as opposed to LinkedIn. Consider this me putting my stake in ground with regard to innovation, and exactly how it’s supposed to work going forward. And it should work the same for the firms who are pushing these concepts on you and your business. I’ll let you all figure out what you prefer: the same old time-consuming and expensive consulting theater that is performed by people w ..read more

The Only Purchase Journey You Will EVER Need
Practical Jobs-to-be-Done
by Mike Boysen
2M ago
The following is not an analysis. It's also not a set of pain points. It's also not a perfect representation of Jobs-to-be-Done. I've taken the AI prompts I developed for JTBD (which you can acquire) and applied them to what traditionally passes as a sophisticated journey map with 8 enlightening phases. You've probably seen this before. What you haven't seen is how this simplistic model of a conflated set of journeys (there are actually 15 possible universal journeys - I've updated from 14 - depending up the product) can be improved by simply using JTBD principles in framing a problem-space fo ..read more

Integrating the JTBD Growth Strategy Matrix with the More Functional Organic Growth Pathways

by Mike Boysen

When I began my journey down the Jobs-to-be-Done rabbit hole 15 years ago there was an interesting matrix that depicted the growth pathways available for innovators to consider. I found it super-useful as a means for thinking about where to focus my attention. Here’s what it looked like… Adapted from Strategyn While it’s still just a table or matrix, it was less theoretical and more actionable than where we ended up. Credit: Strategyn Personally, I don’t see why one would be discarded for another. My guess is that corporate stakeholders didn’t have the appetite for imagery that isn’t base ..read more

What makes a "good" need statement for JTBD?
Practical Jobs-to-be-Done
by Mike Boysen

Let me start off by saying… “There is no perfect customer need statement, no matter how many times someone says there is.” Okay, let’s move on. Let’s instead talk about what a good customer success statement is. Good as in good enough. What characteristics should a good customer need statement have? Perhaps, one that all involved parties clearly understand and interpret the same way. Here are a few more thoughts: It should not fatigue a survey respondent It should be interpreted by everyone the same way (common language makes that much more likely) It should not make your check writer ..read more
