SEE THE DIFFERENCE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Reframing is a simple but powerful technique to see the world, your idea, market or problem from many different perspectives. Do try as many fresh angles as possible to trigger an open mind. Doing so will help you to overcome engrained thinking patterns (your point-of-view or frame). Our five PIVOT steps will challenge you to think more creatively, more off-the-beaten-track. The first challenges will make you deviate, de-construct the whole situation to discover the variables at play. This will give you some space to maneuver. The next challenges will prompt you to recombine, reshuffle and reconstruct these elements into new insights ánd ideas. Let the magic begin!

Customers are looking for a 'new situation' or a 'new fee'. We often use a + or - to signify whether the job is over- or underdelivered at the moment.
Ánd, when drawing your own model, you can size the bubbles depending on importance.

VIDEO TUTORIAL
A 5 minute video instruction on how we use the PIVOT sheet for reframing
The Jobs to be Done perspective is not a study of how people use your products, it’s the study of why!
"Don’t build better cameras — build better photographers." is a striking phrase by game-developer Kathy Sierra. She is trying to make us aware of the fact that we do not need more product-driven innovation with more and more features (feature-creep), yet we need to develop services that are outcome-driven. Services that help our users grow! This model will help you frame your market or service through the lens of what the users is trying to accomplish.
A FEW REAL LIFE EXAMPLES
