The foremost authority on innovation and development presents a path-breaking reserve every company needs to transform innovation from a casino game of chance to 1 in which they develop products and services customers not only want to buy, but are prepared to pay premium prices for. Just how do companies know how to grow? How do they create products they are sure customers want to buy? Can innovation be more when compared to a game of strike and neglect? Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen gets the answer. A generation ago, Christensen revolutionized business with his groundbreaking theory of disruptive innovation. Now he will go further, offering powerful new insights. After many years of research, Christensen has come to 1 critical realization: Our long-held maxim - that understanding the client is the crux of innovation - is wrong. Customers don't buy products or services; they "hire" those to do a job. Understanding customers does not drive innovation success, he argues. Understanding customer jobs does. The "Jobs to BE ACHIEVED" approach can be seen in some of the world's esteemed companies and fast-growing startups, including Amazon . com, Intuit, Uber, Airbnb, and Chobani yogurt, to name only a few. But this reserve is not about celebrating these successes - it's about predicting new ones. Christensen contends that by understanding what causes customers to "work with" a product or service, any business can improve its innovation background, creating products not only that customers want to employ, but also for which they'll pay superior prices to bring them to their lives. Careers theory offers new expect development to companies annoyed by their strike and miss efforts. This reserve carefully lays down Christensen's provocative construction, providing a comprehensive explanation of the idea and just why it is predictive, how to make use of it in the real world - and, most of all, how never to squander the insights it provides.
