This guy is my hero, his books and theories disrupt all industries in the last 20 years. Such a great mind and human being

[@tekenieconomicdevnativebus7444]

Yes. A real legend. RIP Clay

[@alessandroSantoro182]

This person's goodness was palpable through the sound of his voice and the sincerity in his eyes.

[@jahanzebkhan500]

#RIP Professor Clayton. You will forever be missed.

[@alexfelixss]

Great perspective to see the things!

[@robertnelson7390]

Such a great mind and person. So sad to see you go. THANK YOU for teaching us all! Dr. Rob Nelson

[@joshheuring8429]

I've never wanted a milkshake less

[@tekenieconomicdevnativebus7444]

A real legend. Sadly missed by us.

[@ts-krishnan]

To the best of my knowledge, this is the first instance where the late Clayton Christensen is revealing the name of the company "McDonald's". Clay has explained this milkshake story in two books: The Innovator’s Solution (2003) and Competing Against Luck (2016). The name of the company is not revealed in these books. The XYZ company never approached Clay. Clay learnt about this case from a couple of marketing consultants in the mid-1990s. The XYZ company did not act on these product recommendations. I wonder how Clay said that the "result was 7 times bigger"...may be, they piloted or may be I am missing out something. Years later Clay synthesized this milkshake idea and Tony Ulwick's outcome-driven innovation idea into "Jobs-to-be-Done Theory".

Excelente matéria

Fantastic. A real product value concept pretty well shown!

Esse vídeo é genial

[@kareemrasheedbabatunde9026]

Its an exceptional video

[@JillRiedstra]

I really enjoyed the analogies of this video and the milkshake being a job.

@HubSpot: What job does HubSpot get done? What are the competing bagels?

Get that dude a smoothie and we got another 7min video!

One more reason to empower employees and let them observe,, they are your 24 by 7 cameras to observe and understand customers

[@mastersinmarketing]

Well said!

[@suniceoffice5988]

It would have been nice to hear how they changed the milkshake and the way it is marketed it, based on these insights

[@zacharystucki]

Unfortunately, they didn't. They weren't able to motivated enough to figure out how to change the milkshakes. However, if you read his book "Competing with Luck" it highlights other companies that have implemented this concept to great success.

[@zacharystucki]

@@jonathanshrago6437 There were different jobs to be done for different times of the day. In the morning, that may have worked, in the evening it may not have.

Read his book and change my career. Clay was a Christ-like and loving man that was too good for this world.

[@brennaskattebo2701]

I understand all the testing they did to discover the 'job to be done' here, but what I do not understand is how milkshakes are being consumed for breakfast. What?! People feel guilty eating a Snickers bar but not a milkshake. Great book. Cool study. But wtf

[@ericvanwijk861]

This is definitely a US-only story, where adults eat baby food for breakfast

[@Tyong-sk7vt]

@@ericvanwijk861 "baby food" , I like it

[@josiahamaze]

The SAD diet standard American diet

[@ColeLam]

Did they ask if the paper straw can do the job of needing to handle 23 minutes of milkshake?

[@gilbertpezzimenti241]

Amazing ideology. RIP great man.

[@guillermocortes6138]

But what was the solution they implemented? The size?

[@taylanyuksek2844]

As far as I know, they made milkshake more thicker so milkshake will accompany your drive much more longer . In addition, they definitely changed the communication at QSR.

[@guillermocortes6138]

@@taylanyuksek2844 Nice Taylan, thanks for the explanaiton... By the way, what is QSR? Haha, don't think I'm dumb, I'm just out of context.

I often get told by my wife about jobs to be done. This isn’t what she meant and now she’s annoyed I spent time watching videos rather than doing them. Can someone help?

[@EmmanuelChukwu-fs6qz]

Professor miss you 😡😡😡😡

[@luccalima4624]

ok, but how McDonalds Increased sales knowing this?

[@reassembleux4693]

They made it thicker. That way, it keeps you working on it for even longer during that long commute, so it does the job better.

[@sadmemeboi]

so the consensus is that americans think of milkshakes as a sensible breakfast

[@Sirenhound]

Hiring milkshakes and donuts? That seems like odd terminology to me. Do they give them back?

[@bogo2951]

Usually people get it. You did not.
