2. Uncover Your Jobs-To-Be-Done

Your business is a tool to satisfy your desires. The products & services your business provides satisfy your customers desires. Innovation only happens if everyone profits. You, your team, supplier, & your customer all must be satisfied. You can always find a different customer or types of customers but there is only one you. If a strategy doesn’t satisfy your desires then it fails regardless of the results. First Job-To-Be-Done is satisfy your desires.

We will lead you through a focused facilitation process to gather your desires and convert those fuzzy desires into a objective-measurable Outcomes we can use to develop the correct strategy for you.

3. Objectively Measure Your Desires

QuickMatch is a proprietary method based on neurology to objectively measure subjective desires. In just minutes literally see what to focus on and if members of your team are on the “same page.”

The QuickMatch software eliminates painful 1-5 multiple choice surveys. The game-like interface makes measuring desires fun. The key is using the correct part of the brain. Accessing the part of the brain that makes decisions without switching back & forth reduces "brain drain" caused by typical survey methods. It keeps the respondent engaged and enthused. Get great results, accurately, and very quickly.

4. Choose 1ST Customers, Who are they & What do They Want?

Find customers 1st then make what they want. This seems obvious but nearly everyone does this backwards causing the average 80-90% failure rate of new products & businesses. You will identify the best 1st customers Create their Jobs-to-Be-Done map and objectively measure their desires. When combined with your map it sets the guide posts for your strategy.

5. Identify Your Readily Available Resources

Lack of resources are a problem for nearly everyone. Struggling to find resources while trying to get work done is a waste of time & your sanity. We will fix that before you start by identifying your readily available resources.

7. How

There are two parts to how. First is the design of your product or service. Something that creates a unique advantage you control. This is your way to OutCompete. Mark Proffitt will work with you & your team to design both your product & your business strategy to maximize profits & reduce risk.

The second part is an action plan built on the original Agile principles Mark Proffitt developed at Apple Computer so your whole team can sustainably deliver maximum value to your customers & yourself.
