These examples are useful for explaining the concept. They are useless for showing you how JTBD works in contexts where product decisions carry multi-million euro consequences, regulatory constraints shape what is possible, and the end user&rsquo;s job literally determines whether people live or die.</p> <p>This article presents JTBD applications from the industries where I have spent the past two decades: manufacturing, construction equipment, and MedTech. These are real scenarios drawn from companies operating in the DACH region — Palfinger in loader cranes, Fresenius in enteral nutrition, and MOTUS in mobility solutions. The details are illustrative and drawn from public information and our podcast discussions (episodes <a href="https://state-of-innovation.com">#7</a>, <a href="https://state-of-innovation.com">#12</a>, and <a href="https://state-of-innovation.com">#41</a>), with some specifics generalized to protect proprietary information.</p>https://myles-innovation.com/blog/odi-case-studies/Sun, 15 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0100https://myles-innovation.com/blog/odi-case-studies/<h2 id="beyond-theory-odi-in-the-real-world">Beyond Theory: ODI in the Real World</h2> <p>Theory is cheap. Frameworks are plentiful. What most product leaders actually need is evidence — concrete examples of what happens when Outcome-Driven Innovation is applied in practice, in industries similar to theirs, with the kind of complexity and organizational politics they face daily.</p> <p>This article presents four detailed case studies of ODI implementations in enterprise environments. For confidentiality reasons, company names and some identifying details have been changed. But the data, the process, and the results are real. Each case follows the same structure: the situation before ODI, how the process was applied, what the data revealed, and what happened after.</p>
