What is Outcome-Driven Innovation?
A strategy that focuses on understanding and addressing customer desired outcomes.
Outcome-driven innovation (ODI) is a strategy methodology that connects customer needs directly to product and service innovation. Instead of asking customers what features they want, ODI identifies the outcomes (jobs-to-be-done) customers are trying to achieve and measures how underserved each outcome is. This produces a map of unmet needs that guides innovation priorities with much higher success rates than traditional approaches.
