Customer JTBD Frameworks and Methods

By the end of this course, you will experience a complete transformation in how you approach customer behavior, decision-making, and product/service development. You'll learn the strengths and weaknesses of the three core customer jobs-to-be-done frameworks in the marketplace:- Ulwick's Outcome-Driven Innovation Framework;- Kalbach's JTBD Canvas 2.0; and- Boehme's Wheel of Progress® framework. How they stand up (and compare) when tackling different goals and objectives, use cases, related to product innovation, job mapping, experience design, and customer progress design. You'll get practical, hands-on use of each framework through a collection of ChatGPT prompt engineering exercises built around select B2C and B2B case studies. Here’s how: Shift from Product-Centric to Progress-Centric Thinking - Move beyond focusing on product features and demographics. - Understand that customers hire products to make progress in their lives. - Learn to design products and services that meet specific customer jobs and outcomes. Master Practical JTBD Frameworks - Learn three key frameworks: Ulwick’s Outcome-Driven Innovation (ODI), Kalbach’s JTBD Canvas, and Boehme’s Wheel of Progress®. - Confidently apply the right framework for product innovation, journey mapping, and behavioral analysis. - Gain tools to map customer journeys, uncover unmet needs, and prioritize opportunities. Improve Decision-Making with Deeper Customer Insights - Understand the Forces of Progress that drive customer decisions (habits, pushes, desires, avoidances, pulls, anxieties). - Learn to address barriers to adoption and motivate customers to choose your solution. - Make better strategic decisions by grounding them in behavioral and emotional insights. Identify and Prioritize High-Impact Opportunities - Use Kalbach's JTBD Canvas 2.0 to map out the end-to-end experience. - Use Ulwick’s ODI framework to quantify customer needs and calculate Opportunity Scores. - Learn how to prioritize features and innovations based on customer outcomes, focusing on what delivers the most value. Gain Expertise in Emotional and Behavioral Drivers - Understand the emotional and social dimensions that influence purchasing decisions. - Identify key moments of struggle and progress using the Wheel of Progress®. - Design solutions that resonate not just functionally, but emotionally and behaviorally.
