Why are you passionate about business models and business model innovation?

As an investor I use tools of business model canvass to analyze companies as potential investments. With the business model canvas & other tools I am able to see beyond the numbers and discern how strong, weak or innovative companies really are.

As a consultant I am constantly reading, making and using models to obtain strategically significant results for my clients.
