JTBD Events

Running Lean + Switch Workshop

Chris Spiek

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the science of how people buy anything and how to use these insights to build products that customers really want.

Austin, Texas – Jan 29-30, 2015
Space is limited.

Workshop Overview

Most products fail. Not because we fail to build what we set out to build, but because we waste needless time, money, and effort building the wrong product.

But customers don’t just buy a product — they switch from something else. And customers don’t just leave a product — they switch to something else. It’s in these switching moments that the deepest customer insights can be found.

In this 2-day hands-on workshop, you’ll learn a systematic methodology, that combines the best of Running Lean and Jobs-to-be-done techniques, and shows you exactly how uncover what customers want and build better products.

Bob is an entrepreneur, innovator and ‘the milkshake man’ from Clayton Christensen’s famous example of Jobs To Be Done. Bob was one of the principal architects of the JTBD framework in the mid 1990s.

Over the last 6 years Chris has transformed JTBD from a complex theory into an easily understood and highly effective design tool. He helps companies from Fortune 500s to startups develop great products by uncovering what really drives consumers to purchase.

Ash is praised for offering some of the best and most practical advice for entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs all over the world. He is the author of the international best-selling book Running Lean, and creator of Lean Canvas.
