Bob Moesta

Innovator, President, CEO, CFO

I have been blessed with the opportunity to work directly with some great mentors in Clayton
Christensen, Dr. Genichi Taguchi, W. Edwards Deming, John B. Palmer and many others.

“ A struggling moment is the seed of innovation.

”

Chris Spiek

Serial Entrepreneur, Business Model Designer, Product
Development & Innovation Consultant

I grew up in the web space, and have experienced first-hand the pain, frustration, and failure that comes
from not understanding what it takes to get people to switch to a new solution.

What is
“ The Switch:start usingthe consumer going to stop doing
when they

What is a Job-To-be-Done?

The premise is simple: customers don't just buy products
They "hire" them to do a job.
“People don't want to buy
a quarter-inch drill…
The
SOLUTION
(WHAT)
Product Language – Features & Benefits

…they want
a quarter-inch hole!"
The
JOB
(WHY)

JTBD Method
Job Language – Outcomes & Value

The
Re-Wired
Group

Value = f(Context, Do, Candidates, Product, $)

Content vs. Context
People don’t just buy stuff.
They buy what stuff does for them.

Content is what you make for them
Context is what you mean to them
People buy on emotion and justify with logic.
