Good morning Evert; Welcome to the Hub. Interestingly on the same day two people interested in banking have joined the Hub, and both in the Netherlands. Perhaps you should connect with Dave de Held.

Mike Lachapelle replied to Philip Galligan's discussion 'Small not for profit community Theatre and Arts centre'
Great points Stephen. I have worked with n-f-p organizations for more than 25 years (15 as staff at a national organization), and I concur with your identification of a major issue. One of the failings of these organizations is the realization that…

Philip; You have hit on a number of issues that are particular to the not-for-profit (n-f-p) space. These organizations exist in a third party pay structure, wherein party A pays the organization to deliver services (or products) to party B. So…

Posted on August 5, 2011 at 8:05pm 3 Comments

In my discussions with an organization here in Ottawa that supports young entrepreneurs, the program coordinator asked me make some recommendations for the potential entrepreneurs to read and to follow. I thought this would also be good to share with the hub community as it is very relevant to business models and innovation

Business Model Generation 2010 Conference in Rotterdam

Posted on December 1, 2010 at 2:00am 2 Comments

Last week I had the very good fortune to find myself in Amsterdam and Rotterdam to spend time with my colleagues in the business model community and discover new friends in the leancamp community. The reason for my adventure from Canada to the Netherlands was to join Patrick van der Pijl and Camilla van den Boom at the 2010 Business Model Generation conference hosted by

Business Models Inc. and Kluwer (publishers of the Dutch version of Business

New game to test your talents - Dragon's Den

Posted on October 1, 2010 at 3:30pm 6 Comments

I was relaxing at home recently and, in my usual channel flipping state of mind, came across the program Dragon's Den. For those of you not familiar with it; a group of venture capitalist investors (usually 3-4) form a panel and entrepreneurs are brought before them with their business ideas and products/services. If the 'contestants' are capable of convincing the VCs, they can walk away with some very serious funding. Apparently this show is done in a number of countries, I think having…

Life mimicking video games - EA's business model innovation

Posted on September 25, 2010 at 4:12pm 1 Comment

It's Saturday morning here in ottawa, and I am having my coffee and watching English Premiere League soccer and was struck by an interesting business model innovation in which life (i.e. sports) has begun to imitate video games.


I recognized the style of graphics that were being used for score, statistics and information about the game; they resembled the style used in Electronic Arts FIFA Soccer franchise video games. Then I noticed the EA logo being displayed in the…

Hey Mike thx for adding.. I like the new interface of the businessmodelhub..great going!

Hi Mike, thanks for the suggestions! It's funny actually because I ordered Gamestorming this morning so that gives me hope that it was money well spent.

 

I haven't heard of the Lean Launchpad before but it looks like a great resource so thanks for that. I think I'll start a discussion and see if anyone on this site has any ideas

 

I actually had the idea to do this yesterday when I was re-reading BMG. I thought about how that book was crowdsourced from this community so I thought I could crowdsource some of the content of the Kenyan business design course in the same way if it's allowed...?

 

Thanks again.

Mike, Great questions. In terms of leading the workshop, we would be facilitating the event and discussion (http://www.creativerealities.com). We would have to talk through things a bit more, as I imagine that leading people through exercises like these is part of what you do, and we'd be looking for you to participate in a bit of different way. As for your second question, certainly all travel costs would be paid, and we can discuss other compensation if appropriate. I should know a bit more on Friday. Next step for us would be to talk briefly to answer more questions and get a feel for each other. Could do that tomorrow, Friday or early next week if you're interested. Let me know.

Cheers,

David

Mike,

Thanks for the response. What we'd be looking for is someone facile in business model thinking to join us in a workshop, as a participant, to listen to information presented about the future of their industry -- what will be different, what competencies will be needed, what the landscape will even look like (as it is predicted to be quite different) -- and then offer potential elements of new business models to take advantage of this future. I'm heading off for the day but will review your page a bit more tomorrow. Let me know if you're still interested.

Cheers,

David

Hi Mike,

 

I'm doing part time projects - research. The most recent of which brought about generating more sales thru internet marketing. I'm still in the baby steps process of business model generation and testing the waters. The project is in process and it's a long way to go. I can say, from most of the projects I've handled I find my passion here - generating business. I've just received the copy of the book and reading the first few pages when I signed up here. And wow! this is worthwhile online platform as this is socialization blended with intellectual discussion. I'm excited to collaborate with everyone in sharing knowledge.

 

Cheers,

 

Ania

Hi Mike,

As you can learn from my website (www.museumsetcetera.nl) I have a long history in the Dutch museumworld; Since 2001 I work as a independant management consultant for museums. My specialisms are concept- and strategic development, businessplans and implementation of change. As Dutch government is cutting almost 25% of the funding of culture, museums are goping to have a hard time. Last week I visited a congress on this topic, wher Alex Osterwalder held a flashing introduction on the use of businessmodels in cultural institutions. In the Netherlands, most museums have little experience with this - is that different in Canada? 

 

Thanks for your reaction,

 

Hein

Mike I used an operating model to translate a strategy review into a blueprint describing how an agency would develop over 10 years in terms of people process customer and infrastructure. I saw this resource and the book and wanted to know more
