Become a growth architect
 

Measure needs, derisk growth decisions

This book is for builders who want impact. Growth architects, in other words. They want to know how to create measurably more value for customers and speed up profitable growth that way. Opening new markets, sharpening product strategy, getting a technology to break through: this book gives answers you can act on.

 

Readers discover CFI, the Customer-Focused Innovation method, with a proven track record of helping them

  • spot unmet customer needs, measure them, and address them deliberately

  • build strategies and value propositions that hit the mark

  • focus on what counts: bringing customers more value

Growth architects don't just win over customers and markets, they change a team's culture. They overcome internal resistance and drive customer-focused decisions that win in the market.

Having worked with Beat and Yann, I can confirm at first hand: the CFI approach is pragmatic, grounded in practice, and built for how modern organisations and teams actually work. This book is a hands-on guide that turns you into an architect of growth.

At last, a current book on one of THE decisive success factors in innovation management: pinpointing unmet (latent) customer needs, ranking them, and turning them into growth initiatives that work. The authors' four-stage system has been tested widely in practice and takes existing "job-based thinking" approaches a good deal further.

Many research-driven start-ups build the technology first, then ask themselves shortly before launch what problem it actually solves. The CFI method turns this around: customer needs come first, for faster market acceptance and growth that lasts.

Vendbridge is one of the leading consultancies for customer-centred revenue growth using the "Jobs-to-be-Done" method. Working with them, I identified fields of innovation for a global software leader that lie beyond its existing business and operating models.

Vendbridge takes the guesswork out of growth decisions. We measure what your customers are trying to get done and how badly it is solved today — so the options that don't solve a real problem come off the table, and the ones that hit a real pain get the money and the conviction to go big. Twenty years, 200+ growth missions and 8'000 measured customer discoveries: the benchmark base your own pain scores get read against.
