Hi Alan I just started a project with 20 social enterprises. The local government has withdrawn their subsidies and now they have to write business plans. I you have suggestions how to cope with these non-for-profit companies I would appreciate some input. I will also share my expereince. The project will be finished at the end of July.

Best Regards Marijn

It should contain a whole new chapter full of cases of business modelling, not only showing and explaining the canvas but also describing the process in great details. This chapter should answer questions like 'how do we got there?' I guess it is about put a little of this plataform - www.businessmodelhub.com - on the book.

In this chapter I would like to see cases of SMEs - but not .com companies and startups. Talking about john's snack bar on the next corner - and NPOs.

I believe this chapter would help BMG to be spread worldwide.

I do agree with you Daniel. I read the book and am not sure what I am doing. I'd like to have more examples of small businesses out there to which I can identify. It would be great if we could join together and share our knowledge on each other's businesses.

Similar to a number of people responding to this thread (Alan / Tim and others) I'd be really interested in exploring the potential of BMG as a tailored publication / trainings for the most disadvantaged young people in our communities. A way of being "a catalyst for youth-led social enterprise".

There is a a huge gap in the UK's education system when it comes to real, practical and useful enterprise education (i'm sure many other places too!). The potential impact is also not yet sufficiently measured / evaluated; there are simple ways to use schemes like the BMG to produce learning and outcomes that can clearly be shown to have positive social impact.

Additionally "tomorrows enterprsies" are those led by young people, leading themselves and others out of unemployment and hardship via advantaged thinking and networks such as that provided through BMG. 

 

Anyone interested in exploring further?

Following any BM workshop or engagement there is a need for an action plan based on the outcomes. Perhaps the next step is to create the BM Action Canvas,

The framework would be the same and we could adjust some of the blocks as follows.

1. The VP block becomes the Action

2. The Realtionship block becomes the Risks

3. The Channels block becomes the Measures

4. The Customers Segment block becomes the Milestones

5. The Revenue block becomes the Deliverables

6. The Partner block becomes the Team

7. The remianing blocks remain as is.

Has anyone given any thoughts to creating a framework for action? I would like to hear your thoughts and see can we develop a logical extension to the BM Canvas with the BM Action Canvas.

We can map the model when there is consensus on content.

Sounds logical and good.
Will you share such a BMA Canvas with some more details? 

Thanks in advance.

Further to my previous suggestion I now attach a draft template from my IPad App. Your feedback would be appreciated as I think there is scope for such a framework.

Alex,

Why not do a PMI? As in de Bono's Plus, Minus, Interesting and see what comes up.

Maybe do these regularly at end of your talks, or during master classes.

Ageing population, housing, community, society, how are you going to develop BMG offer to support communities and public sector to re-model in times of financial austerity?  Are you working with SILK Kent, England and MindLab, Denmark?  Great to have some dialogue - from a passionate public sector worker!!!!

Examples of companies collected from around the world (hub participants). We are doing this for Brazilian companies.
