I completely re-evaluated the role of innovation in business growth: before reading this book I have to admit I thought it only entailed product new features and technologies enhancements, while now I see it has everything to do with meeting customer needs and uncovering a business USP, which automatically translates in sales! Could not recommend it more!

Unlike most business innovation books I read over the last years (and even decades) when reading How to create innovation you immediately understand the authors have been there, innovating and transforming some of the world's most amazing brands. Great work!

Not only this book offers the most comprehensive innovation and business change overview but it really helps you take the next step, driving you step by step from theory to practice (also with super useful background notes and driving questions)

I really enjoyed the whole book, but mostly the culture chapter, mainly because I always failed to acknowledge its major role in favouring or inhibiting business growth. Loved the graphics that helped connect all the dots in a visually appealing (and way easier) way.

We’been willing to innovate our business for some years now, but then we always got stuck before we even started, because basically we had no idea where to start…This book helped us do just that: find the right starting point with guiding questions and an incredibly comprehensive innovation overview.

Why we use it

Many people begin innovation with a product but discover when they launch that no one wants or needs what they have created. Through the Jobs-to-be-Done (JTBD) framework, we center the customer’s needs and ensure that the product/solution you design will respond to a specific job they need to get done.

How It Works

The Value Proposition Canvas has three sides.
The Customer Profile in the center of the canvas allows you to get into your customer’s head and thus clarify their Job to be Done from both functional and psychological perspectives.

The Product Value Map on the left helps you define how you intend to create value for that customer given their unmet needs. The ultimate objective is to achieve fit between the Customer Profile and the Product Value Map. You have achieved that fit once the product solves a clear Job to be Done.
The Substitutes section outlines what people are currently using to solve their Job to be Done and identifies inertias and obstacles that might prevent them from switching, even if your solution is superior. Your product is competing against other products that meet customers’ deeper needs in entirely different ways. Gaining a customer means not only offering a superior solution but overcoming their resistance to trying something new.

What is the goal of the model?

That’s easy: A happy customer. Happy customers ensure your company’s success, and you make customers happy by providing a solution to a problem that they need solved. This can only be achieved by placing the customer at the center of the process, understanding their needs and iterating your product until it perfectly meets their needs.
