Many managers don’t recognize that every product line has a root system type that defines how the product line works. We call this the system archetype.
In the past, whole industries have been defined using Noun-Based segmentation. When you buy a market research study, it’ll break down an industry by Noun-Based segments. But driving greater value from innovation and product development demands we complement the noun approach with verbs.

Verb-based segmentation is an enormously important and valuable approach that gets lost in the single-product JTBD enthusiasm that’s taken hold in nearly every company.
