Michael Uschold replied to Erwin Fielt's discussion 'Any examples, experiences, ideas in relation to business models and shared services?'

I looked at the Business Model Matrix link and noticed something else as well: "Semantic Business Canvas. Think the current Business Canvas is innovative? Wait till you see what we have done to turn the Canvas and the book into a Semantic…

Conducting a business model survey for a particular industry or sector.

After reading Business Model Generation, I want to better understand what the business models are in the now fast growing semantic technology space. I'm hoping to conduct a survey targeted at specific learning objectives (see below) that could be adapted to any other speciliazed area. Does anyone have any past experience they can share that might save me some wasted effort? E.g. has anyone done this before for a single industry or sector? **** Learning Objectives for Semantic Technology Survey…See More

Great idea - dunno how big the market for business model flash cards is, though.

Michael Uschold commented on Egon Lüftenegger's blog post 'Report on innovation-driven business models in financial services'

Interesting report - just skimmed the introduction and conclusions. Do you know of any other reports in other sectors? I'm thinking about creating such a thing in an emerging technology area - semantic technology, which grew out of Artificial…

It is a good point to be clear about the intended learning objective (or just the goal). Cards could be used as part of a game or not as a game to trigger various kinds of learning. Many people will need to see and think about several examples…

Profile Information

Why are you passionate about business models and business model innovation?: Because it is fun, it is creative, it involves thinking out of the box. I have spent 30 years in a career developing and applying expertise in semantic technology. My goal is to become a master at business model design, analysis, evaluation and development and apply this skill to the fast growing semantic technology sector. I also wish to apply it to Social Business where the profit motive is replaced by a social benefit motive.

How would you best describe your level of expertise when it comes to business models?: some knowledge

Who do you work for? What do you do?: I am in independent consultant. My career has been focused on engineering and applying ontologies in academia and industry. See my LinkedIn profile for more information: http://tr.im/limfu.

What industry do you mainly work in (e.g. financial services, telco, utilities, public sector, academia, pharma...)?: Information Technology

What is the size of the organization you work for?: 1-10

Do you want to add anything? Feel free. Any topic.: I would also like to find a way to apply semantic technology to the art and practice of business model generation. This could involve creating a more formal ontology based on Alex's PhD thesis and use it as the basis for a database of business models that can be queried and reasoned over in sophisticated ways. If this has already been done - please save me the trouble, and let me know!
