The middle Road shares a special thanks with Vivek Vishal Singh for this fruitful discussion on his purchase of Impact Bonds online course using Jobs to Be Done" methodology. Nishant engages in an insightful conversation with Vivek Vishal Singh, the Coordinator at CInI (Tata Trusts), who recently purchased the "Impact Bonds" online course from The Middle Road. This discussion employs the "Jobs to Be Done" methodology, which is a powerful framework for understanding customer motivations and needs. An outcome driven methodology, pioneered by Clayton Christensen, a renowned Harvard Business School professor and author, Jobs to Be Done is highly valued among corporates especially startups to understand consumer behaviour. The Jobs to Be Done approach recognizes that customers don't merely buy products or services; but they use products or service to achieve desired outcomes within their lives. An understanding of these outcomes leads to a better understanding of products needs and features. This would lead to better sales of the product. #jobstobedone #imapctbonds #nishantmalhotra Vivek Vishal Singh https://lnkd.in/d8fvsVFr

Improving Stakeholder Experiences & Building TRUST FayrEdge research team has been studying BRSR report of top 100 companies & trying to find as what these companies are doing which would improve Stakeholder engagement ( Experience ) Below are some observations. I know the current format may only ask minimum information. But organisations can disclose more to show progress/ improved engagement levels . And how they have been able to build Trust with Stakeholders. BRSR report is not just about compliance . It is more about organisation Purpose. Its about how you build TRUST with all your stakeholders. I am not sure organisations are seeing this from this lense & doing things to build TRUST with all stakeholders . Also organisations needs to understand that you cannot be called TRUSTED if only one or two stakeholders feel so. Every stakeholder has to feel the same .  Our Study points to ; - not much details are available to demonstrate Engagement( Experiences are improving  - focus seems to be few stakeholders - looks like different mechanism / methodology/ tools are being used  FayrEdge has platform to help you in your journey of improving Stakeholders experience. By using our platform you can find out your pockets of strengths & concern. You can also get to know as what needs to be done to improve experiences via our Experience Audits.
