Same	Customer,	Different	Contexts

Priorities	change	depending	on	a	customer’s	context.
Taking	this	context	into	account	before	you	think	of	a
value	proposition	for	that	customer	is	crucial.

With	the	jobs-to-be-done	approach,	you	uncover	the	motivations	of	different
customer	segments.	Yet,	depending	on	the	context,	some	jobs	will	become	more
important	or	matter	less	than	others.

    In	fact,	the	context	in	which	a	person	finds	himself	or	herself	often	changes
the	nature	of	the	jobs	that	the	person	aims	to	accomplish.

    For	example,	the	clientele	of	a	restaurant	is	likely	to	use	very	different
criteria	to	evaluate	their	dining	experience	at	lunch	versus	at	dinner.	Likewise	a
mobile	phone	user	will	have	different	job	requirements	when	using	the	phone	in
a	car,	in	a	meeting,	or	at	home.	Hence,	the	features	of	your	value	proposition	will
be	different	depending	on	which	context(s)	you	are	focusing.

In	our	example,	the	context	in	which	our	moviegoer	finds	herself	will
influence	which	jobs	matter	more	or	less	to	her.
Add	contextual	elements	to	your	customer	profiles	if	necessary.	They	might
