June 10, 2025 – [Chapel Hill, NC] — The Jobs-to-be-Done Pyramid™: An Innovation Architecture for Humans by William “Scott” Burleson has quickly gained traction among business professionals, becoming the #1 New Release in Product Management and #1 New Release in Consumer Behavior. It also ranks as the #8 New Release in Marketing, one of Amazon’s most competitive categories.
Released earlier this month, The Jobs-to-be-Done Pyramid™ introduces a groundbreaking framework that helps innovators, marketers, and strategists understand what truly drives customer behavior—not just at the surface level, but across five interconnected layers of motivation: functional, identity, and emotional.
“Too many innovation efforts fail because they misunderstand what the customer is really trying to do,” says Burleson. “The Jobs-to-be-Done Pyramid gives teams a shared language and structure to see the entire motivational landscape—and act on it.”
With its practical tools, visual clarity, and real-world examples, the book is already being used by product leaders, corporate innovators, and customer insight teams seeking clarity in complex markets.
The Jobs-to-be-Done Pyramid™ is available in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle eBook formats on Amazon. To learn more about the framework, visit www.JTBDPyramid.com.
