About me
5. Why am i interested in JTBD?
I want to make sense
of things, so i am able
to build stuff that
makes sense to
people!
6. „People don’t want a
quarter-inch drill, they want
a quarter-inch hole. “
Theodore Levitt (~1960s)
Origins of the idea
8. Origin of the term
„Process need, unlike the other sources of
innovation, does not start out with an event in
the environment, whether internal or external.
It starts out with the job to be done. …
It is task-focused rather than situation-
focused. It perfects a process that already
exists, replaces a link that is weak, redesigns an
existing old process around newly available
knowledge.“
Peter F. Drucker
9. Why do we talk about it just now?
„People hire products to
get a job done“
Clayton Christensen
11. What is the JTBD?
„Help me kill time on my
long and boring commute
to work, so i arrive relaxed
and nourished.“
12. Economy travel and business travel are
both capable candidates applying for
“Get me face-to-face with my
colleague in San Francisco“, though
they’re looking for significantly different
salaries. Video conferencing isn’t as
capable, but is willing to work for a far
smaller salary. I’ve a hiring choice to
make.”
Des Traynor – Intercom
24. Jobs Theory according to Christensen and Klement (to a dregree)
Customers want
progress!
25. • …is the progress that an individual seeks in a
given circumstance.
• …is never simply about the functional—it has
important social and emotional dimensions.
• …occurs in the flow of daily life, the circumstance
is central to their definition and becomes the
essential unit of innovation work
• …ongoing and recurring. Not a discrete event
AJTBD...
26. …is the process a consumer goes through whenever
she aims to transform her existing life-situation into a
preferred one, but cannot because there are
constraints that stop her.
It is not a task, activity, or has any functional
characteristic.
AJTBD...
28. „Upgrade your user, not your
product. Value is less about the
stuff and more about the stuff the
stuff enables. Don't build better
cameras - build better
photographers.“
Kathy Sierra
30. Help me quickly find a restaurant
where me and my friends can eat
together …
…so i don‘t have to worry so much
about finding a place everyone
likes and gets the food they like.
34. These are the things we want to find out
• What is the progress the customer
seeks
• the context of the struggle with an
existing solution
• what are the obstacles
• what would be hired if the current
solution would not exist
• …
37. One term, many explanations…
JTBD Theory + ODI: Job as a process
38. JTBD + Outcome-Driven Innovation (Tony Ulwick)
New products and services
win in the marketplace if they
help customers get a job
done better and/or more
cheaply.
39.
40. • Core Functional Job
• verb + object of the verb (noun) + contextual clarifier
e.g. „prepare a hot beverage for consumption“ (not „boil water“)
• Related Functional Jobs
• Consumption Chain Jobs (purchase, receive, install, setup, etc.)
• Emotional Jobs
• define how customers want to feel or avoid feeling (as a result of the functional job)
à „feel appreciated“
• Social Jobs
• define how customers want to be perceived by others à „be perceived as a good host“

I want to share my experience with friends and family
so I can stay in touch with the people I care about.

63. „JTBD theory offers a rich framework for
understanding customers. But you may be thinking
that it sounds familiar or that you’ve been advocating
this for years.Well, you’re right.At its core,JTBD theory
overlaps greatly with existing approaches of user-
centered design, design thinking, goal-driven design
and more.“
Jim Kalbach
64. „Still, at a minimum the JTBD approach offers a fresh
perspective on creating value for customers.What’s
different, I believe, is the source of the approach: it
comes from thoughts leaders in business. The
momentum around JTBD, particularly with Clayton
Christensen’s new book Competing Against Luck,
will likely increase over the next several years.“
Jim Kalbach
65. It opens a space where people
from different backgrounds
(business, tech, design) can
discover customer needs
together!
66. It can be a north star for
customer-centricity
throughout the organisation.
