We've all heard about the Jobs to Be Done framework - but do you know how to really make the most of it? We went straight to the source - Bob Moesta, who developed the approach alongside Harvard Business School's Clayton Christensen - to really get into the approach.
In this episode, we cover:
- How to get started with JTBD - and what to do after you've conducted a bunch of interviews.
- Case studies, including SAAS, candy bars, and selling houses.
- When not to use the approach
- And the mistakes that most people make.
