The importance of empathy in customer success
The impact of customer success on business growth
The "jobs to be done" approach defines a business from the perspective of what brings value to a customer. A job can be a problem to solve ("repair my car") or a goal ("get into college"). When there is a job to be done, people are motivated to find products, services, or experiences to perform those jobs.
For example, Twitter is using this strategy by focusing on its three core jobs: news, discussion, and helping people get paid.

How an organisation defines its business will impact everything it does - what customers it serves, how it serves them, who are its competitors, what it considers as external forces, what strategies it uses, and how it innovates.
However, companies often define themselves by the products they sell or by an inward-looking characteristic such as its business model or capability. They answer the question of what business they are in in a myopic way that obscures the realities around them, leading to missing emerging threats and opportunities.

A company should recognise the full set of jobs they are hired for. This information can be collected by gathering insights from customer interviews, observations of how people engage with your company, and data gathered from website usage.
The list of specific jobs can be separated into higher-level jobs to consider for strategic prioritisation.

Once the jobs to focus on has been prioritised, the results are communicated throughout the company. It can provide a mechanism for allocating resources.
For example, when Twitter identified the strategic jobs, all product groups and teams reviewed their current product roadmaps and assessed how they connected to one of the priority jobs. If it didn't connect, the product was removed from the roadmap.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
