  1. Hypothesis: If a product team could know in advance what

    metrics its customers were going to use to judge a new offering, it could optimize the product to address those metrics—and predictably deliver a winning solution.
  2. FIRST SUCCESS In 1991 I led an effort to help

    Cordis Corporation break down and analyze the process cardiologists went through to “restore blood flow in a blocked artery.” Opportunities were revealed, prioritized and addressed. By mid-1993, Cordis launched 19 new angioplasty balloon products, all of which became number 1 or 2 in the market. Its market share increased from 1 percent to more than 20 percent. This work also led to the development of the stent—the fastest growing device in medical history. ODI has been refined and proven over 26 years.
  3. “Ulwick’s outcome-driven programs bring discipline and predictability to the often

    random process of innovation.” – Clayton Christensen
 “I call him the Deming of Innovation because, more than anyone else, Tony has turned innovation into a science.” – Philip Kotler
 THEORY IN PRACTICE
  4. “Innovation becomes much more predictable—and far more profitable—when it begins

    with a deep understanding of the job the customer is trying to get done.” “Innovation can be 100% predictable.” – Clayton Christensen PREDICTABLE INNOVATION
  5. INCREASE CHANCES FOR SUCCESS 5-FOLD ODI IS PHENOMENALLY SUCCESSFUL Strategyn

    engaged an independent researcher to compare the success rates of innovation methods. The results show that while traditional methods yield a 17 percent success rate on average, the success rate of ODI is 86 percent. The chances of success increase 5-fold when using the Outcome-Driven Innovation process.
  6. IDEAS NEEDS THE IDEAS-FIRST APPROACH IS INHERENTLY FLAWED Companies work

    to brainstorm, iterate and “fail fast” in order to discover the solutions that will address the customers unmet needs.
  7. THE NEEDS-FIRST APPROACH MAKES MORE SENSE This approach applies marketing

    101 logic. But while it makes intuitive sense, it doesn’t yield significantly better results. Why? IDEAS NEEDS
  8. Solutions Specifications Problems Requirements Customer Needs Wants Must haves Exciters

    Delighters Value drivers Latent needs Unarticulated needs Expectations Characteristics Desires Wishes Attributes Features Benefits Ideas Jobs Table stakes Anxieties Pains Gains Inspirations Behaved values
  9. According to traditional VoC practitioners, a need statement could be

    anything that follows: • Assumptions of what a product should do • What a customer wants a product to do • What a customer would be surprised/delighted to see a product do • A benefit of using the product • The function a product performs • What a product lets you do • A detailed description of how a customer wants a product to perform • A problem that a product solves • An issue the customer is having • Criteria for success • A statement of a fundamental problem in a given situation that needs to be solved • A customer’s task demands VoC PRACTITIONERS DO NOT AGREE
  10. “People don’t want a quarter inch drill, they want a

    quarter inch hole.” —Theodore Levitt CHANGE THE UNIT OF ANALYSIS Six Sigma principles can be applied to innovation when studying the “underlying process” that people are trying to execute while using a product or service, rather than studying the product or the customer. This thinking led to our innovation process: OUTCOME-DRIVEN INNOVATION®
  11. JOBS-TO-BE-DONE OFFERS A NEW PERSPECTIVE When looking through a Jobs-to-be-Done

    lens, customers, markets, needs, segments and opportunities look different. i. People buy products and services to help them get a job done ii. The “job”—not the product—is the unit of analysis iii. A “job” is stable over time, making it a constant in the equation
  12. OUTCOME-DRIVEN INNOVATION® (ODI) ODI is a customer-centric, data-driven strategy and

    innovation process that ties customer-defined metrics to the customer’s "job-to-be-done”. 05. Use the data model to formulate a winning growth strategy 04. Discover hidden segments of opportunity 03. Quantify the degree to which each need is under/overserved 02. Uncover the customer’s “needs”— tied to the job-to-be- done 01. Define the market: job executor and “job-to- be-done”
  13. Insert Picture here THE DATA MODEL MAKES INNOVATION PREDICTABLE Value

    creation becomes more predictable when you know the customer’s unmet needs and are able to assess how much better competing solutions/ideas will help the customer get the “job” done. DESIRED OUTCOMES OPP Minimize the time it takes to determine if/ where any dissections have occurred 12.4 Minimize the time it takes to position the balloon across the lesion 14.1 Minimize the time it takes to open the blockage 5.2 Minimize the likelihood of restenosis (recurrence) 16.4 Minimize the likelihood of damaging a vessel during the procedure 12.7 Minimize the time it takes to determine the location of an advancing balloon in the patient 10.5 Minimize the time it takes to advance the balloon to the lesion 9.5 Minimize the time it takes to stop patient bleeding at the entry point 8.1
  14. ODI INSIGHTS INFORM DECISION MAKING FOR YEARS TO COME The

    data model aligns teams with a common language and understanding of customers and their needs. The model drives customer-centric and data- driven decision making across the organization.

Define the market: job executor and “job-to-be-done”
  16. LP market MP3 market CD market Streaming market MARKETS ARE

    OFTEN DEFINED AROUND PRODUCTS All products will eventually become obsolete. But when a product goes away, it doesn’t mean the underlying market disappears.
  17. LP market MP3 market CD market Streaming market DEFINE THE

    MARKET AROUND THE JOB-TO-BE-DONE People don’t want LP’s, CD’s, or 8 track tapes. They want to listen to music. The job-to-be-done doesn’t go away, even after a product is long gone. Listen to music
  18. JOB TO BE DONE
 
 
 Can be anything a

    group of people are trying to accomplish.
  19. MARKET = “JOB EXECUTOR” + “JOB-TO-BE-DONE” By defining a market

    as a job executor with a functional job-to-be-done, ODI provides a new avenue for market analysis. Listen to music Music enthusiasts
  20. MARKET = “JOB EXECUTOR” + “JOB-TO-BE-DONE” By defining a market

    as a job executor with a functional job-to-be-done, ODI provides a new avenue for market analysis. Create a digital asset Business professionals
  21. MARKET = “JOB EXECUTOR” + “JOB-TO-BE-DONE” By defining a market

    as a job executor with a functional job-to-be-done, ODI provides a new avenue for market analysis. Parents Pass on life lessons to children
  22. MARKET = “JOB EXECUTOR” + “JOB-TO-BE-DONE” By defining a market

    as a job executor with a functional job-to-be-done, ODI provides a new avenue for market analysis. Cut a piece of wood in a straight line Tradesmen
  23. MARKET = “JOB EXECUTOR” + “JOB-TO-BE-DONE” By defining a market

    as a job executor with a functional job-to-be-done, ODI provides a new avenue for market analysis. Legal teams Discover information that supports/refutes a case
  24. MARKET DEFINITION IS CRITICAL AND NOT ALWAYS EASY Most products

    only get part of a job done. Don’t ask “what job does my product do.” Instead ask “what job is the customer trying to get done.” Prepare a hot beverage for consumption Boil water
  25. OUTCOME-DRIVEN INNOVATION® (ODI) ODI is a customer-centric, data-driven strategy and

    innovation process that ties customer-defined metrics to the customer’s "job-to-be-done”. 05. Use the data model to formulate a winning growth strategy 04. Discover hidden segments of opportunity 03. Quantify the degree to which each need is under/overserved 02. Uncover the customer’s “needs”—tied to the job-to-be-done 01. Define the market: job executor and “job-to- be-done”
  26. JOB, JOB STEP, OUTCOME HIERARCHY Once the job-to-be-done is defined,

    we create the job map and collect outcomes within each step of the job. Job Step 4 Job Step 3 Job Step 1 Job Step 2 Job Step 5 Job Step…n Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Outcome Core Functional Job
  27. THE JOB MAP IS USED TO ANALYZE THE JOB-TO-BE-DONE A

    Job Map details, step by step, what the customer is trying to get done—not what they are doing. 
 A Job Map is solution agnostic and applies across geographies. One map per market. The Customer-Centered Innovation Map, Harvard Business Review, 2008 Confirm Verify Monitor Execute Define Plan Locate Gather Prepare Organize Modify Conclude
  28. JOB MAP FOR ‘LISTENING TO MUSIC’ – FUTURE VISION The

    job map reveals what function the ultimate solution must provide to get the entire job done on a single platform. It outlines a roadmap for growth. Confirm Confirm the music plan Monitor Monitor the experience Define Assess the situation Locate Gather the desired music Prepare Order the music for listening Modify Modify the music selection Conclude Assess the experience
  29. MP3 PLAYERS GET MORE OF THE JOB DONE While the

    LP and CD only enable the execution of the “listen” step, the MP3 solution gets more of the job done. Confirm Confirm the music plan Monitor Monitor the experience Define Assess the situation Locate Gather the desired music Prepare Order the music for listening Modify Modify the music selection Conclude Assess the experience
  30. STREAMING SERVICES GET MORE OF THE JOB DONE Using your

    preferences, Pandora picks music for you and keeps track of what music you want to hear again. Confirm Confirm the music plan Monitor Monitor the experience Define Assess the situation Locate Gather the desired music Prepare Order the music for listening Modify Modify the music selection Conclude Assess the experience
  31. JOB, JOB STEP, OUTCOME HIERARCHY Once the job-to-be-done is defined,

    we create the job map and collect outcomes within each step of the job.

  32. THE “DESIRED OUTCOME” STATEMENT The perfect “need” statement has these

    unique characteristics and is called a “desired outcome”: • Stable over time: constant in the innovation equation • Tied to the job-to-be-done • A metric customers use to measure success when getting a job done • Measurable/controllable in the design of the product/service • Solution agnostic • Predictive • Research-ready • Cross-functionally applicable Company Customer
  33. LISTENERS HAVE MANY DESIRED OUTCOMES A desired outcome is a

    structured statement that defines how customers measure value and how a company can create it. Giving Customers a Fair Hearing, MIT Sloan Management Review, 2008 Minimize the time it takes to get the songs in the desired order for listening. Direction Object of control Metric Contextual clarifier
  34. LISTENERS HAVE MANY DESIRED OUTCOMES Over 100 outcome statements are

    often needed to detail how customers measure the successful execution of the job. Confirm the music plan Monitor the experience Assess the situation Gather the desired music Order the music for listening Modify the music selection Assess the experience Minimize the time it takes to determine how much music will be needed, e.g., minutes, etc.
  35. LISTENERS HAVE MANY DESIRED OUTCOMES Over 100 outcome statements are

Confirm the music plan Monitor the experience Assess the situation Gather the desired music Order the music for listening Modify the music selection Assess the experience Minimize the time it takes to determine the order in which to play the songs
  36. LISTENERS HAVE MANY DESIRED OUTCOMES Over 100 outcome statements are

    often needed to detail how customers measure the successful execution of the job. Confirm the music plan Monitor the experience Assess the situation Gather the desired music Order the music for listening Modify the music selection Assess the experience Minimize the likelihood that the music sounds distorted when played at high volume
  37. Insert Picture here OUTCOMES FUEL A PREDICTIVE MODEL FOR GROWTH

    Outcomes remain stable over time. Solutions change over time to satisfy the 100+ outcomes, enabling customers to get the job done better. Having a complete set of customer outcome statements is the holy grail of innovation: a complete and agreed upon understanding of the customer’s needs. Desired outcomes Minimize the time it takes to determine how much music will be needed -- -- -- -- Minimize the time it takes to determine what songs to include -- -- + ++ Minimize the time it takes to determine the order in which to play the songs -- -- + ++ Minimize the likelihood that the music sounds distorted -- ++ + ++ Minimize the time it takes to remove songs that you no longer want to hear -- -- + + Solutions

  40. ODI-BASED RESEARCH REVEALS UNMET NEEDS Statistically valid quantitative research reveals

    hidden segments, competitive strengths, unmet outcomes and more. When [job step], how important is it to you that you are able to: When using [solution], how satisfied are you with your ability to: Not at all important Somewhat important Important Very important Extremely important Not at all satisfied Somewhat satisfied Satisfied Very satisfied Extremely satisfied Outcome 2 Using side-by-side ratings reduces both the actual length and perceived length of the survey for respondents.

  44. NOT ALL JOB EXECUTORS ARE ALIKE Segments of customers with

    different unmet outcomes exist because people struggle differently when executing the job-to-be-done. Demographic, psychographic and attitudinal segment classifications do not reveal segments of customers with different unmet outcomes. Traditional segmentation methods cause companies to target phantom segments.
  45. GENDER DOES NOT REVEAL UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES Our research proves that

    segmenting a market around gender does not reveal significant customer differences. 0 2 4 6 8 10 0 2 4 6 8 10

  47. OUTCOME-BASED SEGMENTATION The only way to find segments of customers

    with different unmet needs is to segment the market around unmet needs. Factor Group 1 Factor Group 2 Factor Group 3 Outcome 10 Outcome 3 Outcome 4 Outcome 11 Outcome 5 Outcome 8 Outcome 2 Outcome 9 Outcome 6 Outcome 1 Outcome 7 The variables serve as a solid basis for segmentation. Variable 1 Variable 2 Variable 3 Statistical-based clustering process Cluster analysis places respondents into a predetermined number of groups (segments) based on how they rated the importance and satisfaction of the segmentation variables. Segment profiling exercise The most important insight is figuring out what is causing respondents in one segment to struggle more/differently than others. This insight leads to the creation of statistically valid “personas” or segment descriptions.
