Business Model Innovation Hub
... where visionaries, game changers, and challengers discuss business models
Business Model Workshop Ideas Needed.
Hi;
I am going to run a series of work shops in Kenya for the young entrepreneurs. It is going to be a half day work shop and below are the expectations.
All kinds of input/advice/ on how to run the work shop and how to melt the business model strategy canvas in to the process is more than wellcome!
1. Reinforce contestants understanding of the Pivot competition processes
2. Educate contestants on how to write sound business plans
3. Sensitize contestants on the need for sound business concepts to be demonstrated in their initial application entries
4. Introduce contestants to key concepts on how to persuade investors, partners and buyers

Hello Ege, I did a few workshops in South Africa and these are some of my experiences:
- take into account that a lot of people (even high school level) have very bad lingual knowledge (they can read but do not really understand what they are reading)
- make sure you know the political circumstances of the young entrepreneurs you are teaching; f.i. entrepreneurship was banned amongst black people in South Africa for almost 80 years! You don't solve that in a workshop....
- translate your business model workshop into a game. I used the scandinavian "CUB"-game as a metaphore for entrepreneurship. It turned out to be a hit. And made the workshops a lot of fun too!
- be aware of the differences between your contestants (cultural, economic, social, educational, etc.)
I wish you all the luck with your worskhops. Kind regards,
Ton Hendrickx

Hi Ege,
If you have a laptop and a projector out there I would
suggest Prezi to melt in the process.This will offer:
- A computer aided approach to store & design the canvas
- cloud based presentation software to enable
collaboration online brings the speed and power of microprocessors to the development and management of the canvas
I am going to share an pre-made prototype canvas with you. Picture below.
To view online and begin playing go to

Alternatively click on

Look forward to hearing how it goes.
good luck!Alex
