Ontem, via e-mail, o João Figueiredo, que fiquei a conhecer na sequência de um workshop sobre o balanced scorecard, brindou-me com um artigo super-interessante, "A neuroscientist says there’s a powerful benefit to exercise that is rarely discussed". Material excelente sobre:

• a experiência é o produto; e
• o JTBD

Imaginem aqueles ginásios que sempre viram o seu negócio como a disponibilização de activos, máquinas e instalações, para que as pessoas as usassem por sua conta.

.

Agora, imaginem que um ginásio ao lado ... sim, eu sei, rouxinóis de MacArthur:

Agora, imaginem que um ginásio ao lado aposta no JTBD, nos resultados que os clientes realmente procuram e valorizam, usando o ginásio como um artifício, um instrumento para os conseguir atingir:

"The immediate effects of exercise on my mood and thought process proved to be a powerful motivational tool. And as a neuroscientist and workout devotee, I’ve come to believe that these neurological benefits could have profound implications for how we live, learn and age as a society.
.
Let’s start with one of the most practical immediate benefits of breaking a sweat: exercise combats stress. [Moi ici: Não precisos comprimidos!]
...
exercise improves our ability to shift and focus attention. [Moi ici: Não precisos comprimidos!]
...
increased levels of physical exercise can result in improved memory  [Moi ici: Não precisos comprimidos!]
...
Just consider how the educational system might be altered if we acknowledge exercise’s ability to brighten our mood, decrease stress, and improve our attention span and memory. The growing evidence that exercise improves these key brain functions should encourage schools around the world to increase—not decrease—students’ physical activity.
...
The good news doesn’t end there. Recent findings have suggested that the brain’s hippocampus is also involved in giving people the ability to imagine new situations. Since we know that exercise enhances the birth of new hippocampal brain cells and can improve memory function, this discovery suggests that exercise might be able to improve the imaginative functions of the hippocampus as well.
...
the longer and more regularly you exercise through your life, the lower your chances are of suffering from cognitive decline and dementia as you age.
...
In these ways, neuroscience gives us a framework to understand exercise as a tool for better education, increased productivity in the workforce and combating cognitive decline. It’s time for us to stop using the looming prospect of beach season as the motivation for exercise—and instead shift the conversation to a discussion about how staying active can change the way we live."

Agora imaginem montar o negócio em tornos destes JTBD: quem serão os clientes-alvo? Qual a proposta de valor? Qual o ecossistema da procura?

É voltar ao anúncio da Microsoft nos anos 90 do século passado:

"Where do you wanto to go today?"

Obrigado João.
