Summary:
While the Jobs to Be Done theory is most commonly used to explain consumer behavior, it can also explain why an organization's employees do – or don’t do things. Why do employees “hire” or “fire” training? What forces act upon them when they “hire” or “fire” their employer? Once you see the world through the lens of Jobs to Be Done, you can’t unsee it!
Jay Gerhart uses and teaches the Jobs to Be Done framework extensively in his work as an innovation leader, in addition to podcasting, speaking, and blogging on the topic. He is co-host and producer of A Sherpa’s Guide to Innovation, featuring several thought leaders of Jobs to Be Done. In this session, we will discuss:
-
Jobs to Be Done theory, what it is and how it’s used.
-
How Jobs to Be Done relates to your daily life
-
How organizations apply Jobs to Be Done theory
-
How to navigate training and development and related challenges using the Forces of Progress framework
