Learning Objectives
At the end of the session attendees will have grasped the key concepts behind the 'Jobs-To-Be-Done' (JTBD) innovation and Ux method. Through the examples presented they will also gain an appreciation of how the method can be deployed and how it can be used to evaluate existing products and services and innovate new ones. The following comment from Robert Gordon University (Aberdeen) gives a flavour of librarian responses to Ken Chad's work: “We found the [Jobs-To-Be-Done] workshops really helpful from two perspectives. First it helped to have an innovative new way to look at the issues and problems and secondly it gave us some clear outputs which we can use to develop our services”.

Abstract
The ‘Jobs-To-Be-Done’ (JTBD) methodology is widely adopted in the business world, often in the context of innovation and Ux. Ken has adapted it for the library sector and will share some insights and practical outputs from his work with a number of organisations including Cambridge University, Universiy of Westminster, London and Robert Gordon University Aberdeen.
