Requirements for using the Business Model Generation Tools

NOTE: To preserve this information for reference I have moved it from News to the Blog Posts section. That keeps it available for people who are interested in this information

There have been some questions posted lately asking for guidance in using the tools associated with the Business Model Generation (BMG) approach - the Business Model (BM) canvas and the…

Revenue streams, customer segments and value propositions.

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 1:00pm 0 Comments

This past week I had some correspondence with a Hub member about aspects of business design and business models in the government context. I thought I would share some of the thoughts. The correspondent was having difficulty dealing with the financial components (cost structures and particularly revenue streams) in mapping the business model of an organization that provides services internally in the government.

It is a fundamental principle of any complete business model that revenue…

Digital Innovation in Health Care Delivery

Posted on October 31, 2012 at 4:00pm 0 Comments

This week I attended a conference on Digital Transformation In Health Care. There I met Dr. Glen Geiger of the Ottawa Hospital and heard him talk about one of the most impressive innovation projects I have seen in some time. I was most taken with how this initiative intuitively applied so many of the BM Generation and Customer Development principles.

On the BMG Canvas modifications and adaptations

For those who have read my critique of Garrett Delcourt's work should not take it to mean I do not wish to see people re-think the concepts and try different approaches. Often from re-thinking by other people some very interesting insights happen. This is my understanding of the reason Alexander released the work under creative commons rather than copyright.

Ash Maurya created an approach called…

My business model knowledge network

Posted on March 7, 2012 at 3:47am 0 Comments

So here it is - I was in a discussion with a group of young entrepreneurs, talking about various elements of business models and customer development, and they asked me if I could sum up all the people and approaches that have influenced my thinking about business models. Interesting challenge.

So I put together a snapshot as a network model of the key thinkers and approaches I use in my business innovation work, enjoy.…

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
