Task

What people want to achieve and get done.

Description

People have numerous tasks they want to accomplish every day: getting up in the morning, working together with a colleague, visiting a friend or relaxing in the evening. Those tasks are about the outcomes people want to achieve, not the means to get there. Tasks can be seen as a stable expression of people's needs, motivations and intent.

Enterprises appear in people's experiences as brands offering products to help them accomplish their tasks as they go through their journeys. A coffee shop, a train company or a video streaming service all offer solutions to serve the tasks mentioned before.

Achieving clarity on people's tasks, ideally backed by evidence through research, offers our enterprise a chance to focus on people's most important needs and motivations. This provides opportunities for products to make a difference by making valuable offerings to customers. It also helps with understanding the needs of employees, partners or other important people and can be used for the design of job roles or partnership offerings. This helps our enterprise improve the role it plays in people's lives.
