JOBS TO BE DONE IS A POWERFUL TOOL
The Jobs to be Done framework is powerful. It starts with empathy and an understanding of consumer pain points, then enables you to identify a consumer need, detached from any potential solutions. This approach opens innovators and marketers up to more consumer-centric and innovative ideas. At The Garage Group, we embrace Jobs-to-be-Done as one method for articulating unmet consumer needs and desires identified through research. In understanding what consumers are trying to accomplish through the use of products or services, or their own “hacks” we get a clearer picture of what unmet needs exist. These insights have the potential to be translated into robust innovation and product solutions that step change industry and the user experience.
