This PPT slide, part of the 35-slide Jobs-to-Be-Done (JTBD) Theory PowerPoint presentation, presents the "JTBD Theory" through its nine foundational pillars, which serve as essential elements for understanding customer behavior in the context of completing a job. Each pillar outlines a critical aspect of how customers engage with products and services to fulfill their needs.
The first pillar emphasizes that purchases are driven by the need to complete a specific job, highlighting the functional nature of consumer behavior. The second pillar acknowledges that jobs encompass not just functional tasks, but also social and emotional dimensions, suggesting that businesses must consider these factors in their offerings. The third pillar indicates that the core tasks customers aim to accomplish remain stable over time, which can guide long-term product development strategies.
The fourth pillar suggests that customers do not favor one solution over another, indicating a need for businesses to focus on the job rather than the product itself. The fifth pillar points out that success is measured by the effectiveness of the task execution rather than the product's features. This shifts the focus from product-centric to job-centric thinking.
The sixth pillar asserts that understanding consumer requirements enhances predictability in innovation processes and marketing efforts. The seventh pillar reveals that customers seek solutions that enable them to complete their jobs more effectively and affordably. The eighth pillar emphasizes the importance of providing comprehensive solutions on a single platform, which can streamline customer experiences. Finally, the ninth pillar states that clearly defining customer needs allows for more predictable innovation outcomes.
Overall, these pillars provide a framework for businesses to rethink their innovation and marketing strategies, ensuring alignment with customer needs and job completion.
