The foremost authority on innovation and growth presents a path-breaking book every company needs for sustainable business growth transforming innovation from a game of chance to one in which they develop products and services customers not only want to buy but are willing to pay premium prices for. How do companies know how to grow? How can they create products that they are sure customers want to buy? Can predictable innovation be more than a game of hit and miss? Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen has the answer. A generation ago Christensen revolutionized business with his groundbreaking theory of disruptive innovation. Now he goes further offering powerful new insights. After years of research Christensen has come to one critical conclusion about customer behavior: our long held maxim-that understanding the customer is the crux of innovation-is wrong. Customers don't buy products or services they "hire" them to do a job. Understanding customers does not drive innovation success he argues. Understanding customer jobs does. The "Jobs to Be Done" approach can be seen in some of the world's most respected companies and fast-growing startups including Amazon Intuit Uber Airbnb and Chobani yogurt to name just a few. But this book is not about celebrating these successes-it's about predicting new ones. Christensen contends that by understanding what causes customers to "hire" a product or service any business can improve its product development and innovation track record creating products that customers not only want to hire but that they'll pay premium prices to bring into their lives. Jobs theory offers new hope for growth to companies frustrated by their hit and miss efforts. This book carefully lays down Christensen's provocative framework a revolutionary approach to business strategy that provides a comprehensive explanation of the theory and why it is predictive how to use it in the real world-and most importantly how not to squander the insights it provides. This book provides a clear actionable framework for leaders managers and entrepreneurs ready to compete against luck. Jobs to Be Done Theory: Learn the groundbreaking framework that shifts the focus from customer demographics to the core "job" they hire a product or service to do-the true driver of their purchasing decisions.

Actionable Framework: Discover a comprehensive and predictive theory that provides clear guidance on how to create products customers will not only buy but also pay premium prices for.
