CASE STUDY: UNLOCKING GROWTH WITH JOBS-BASED JOURNEY MAPPING 📖 Earlier this year, we partnered with a global consumer goods company who recognized a growth opportunity to expand beyond their core. ⬆️ The team had narrowed in on a specific use case for expansion but needed to gain a broader understanding of the universe of consumer needs available for solving. If the leaders chose to “shoot first, aim second” they would have risked wasting time, money, and resources. Instead, we led them through an 8-week process, rooted in identifying the Jobs to be Done most ripe for solving. The result: The team had an aligned, clear path forward. We know this isn't an easy task! "This work ignited important discussions. It has created momentum and I’ll continue advocating for action steps from multiple teams within the organization." - #F500 Strategic Insights Manager Learn more on how we did it: Unlocking Growth with Jobs-Based Journey Mapping: https://hubs.li/Q02K12SW0 #JobsTobeDone #JourneyMapping #CPG #consumerpackagedgoods #innovation
