Jobs to be done

job 1When Kurotel opens its first location outside Gramado in over four decades, in a day-use-only format with no lodging to fall back on, I want a demand-generation plan built specifically for this new city and format, so that Sao Paulo clients discover and adopt the Kur Method without the draw of an overnight retreat. source

job 2When leadership of Kurotel passes to the second generation across several daughters with different roles, I want a professionalised governance structure that survives the transition intact, so that the founder's Kur Method and the family business it built continue on solid footing after he steps back. source

jtbd coverage noteOnly dossier facts are available for Luis Carlos Silveira; no register quotes or sales brief exist, so both functional jobs rest on documented expansion and succession events rather than founder voice. Emotional and social jobs are omitted for lack of any quote evidence.
