- Alex,
I'd like to introduce you and other members of the community to a very simple but fascinating tool for visual modeling, analysis, brainstorming, and innovation. The tool, which I call the Infinitely Zoomable Page (IZP)" facilitates every aspect of business model analysis, design, innovation, and performance management. A specific application of IZP is the Zoomable Business Model (ZBM), which is a dashboard which integrates ideas from concepts and tools of business system modeling, value/supply chain, Six Sigma, and balanced scorecard. In short, the ZBM is a one-in-all tool for improving innovation, efficiency, and effectiveness of businesses.
I look forward to discussing and sharing ideas with as well as learning from the community.
Best,
Rod King, Ph.D.
