Jobs to be done
job 1When repeat guests across ADLER's eight resorts go unrecognized because no unified loyalty or CRM system exists, I want to build a direct guest-relationship and booking channel, so that the group depends less on OTA commissions and keeps more of its loyal-guest value.
job 2When the seventh Sanoner generation takes on ADLER's public-facing role without a developed communications platform, I want to build their thought-leadership and content presence, so that the family's generational transition becomes a market advantage instead of an invisible handoff.
jtbd coverage noteEvidence is limited to sales-brief pain framing and dossier facts; the study register carries no verbatim quotes from Klaus Sanoner, so emotional and social jobs are omitted for lack of founder voice evidence.
