A business model is the foundation upon which an organization’s strategy is built. In today’s ever-changing economic climate, companies must review their business model from time to time to maximize their performance and cultivate their growth.
Through this workshop, you will become familiar with best practices, tools and methods that will enable you to:
- Analyze your current business model in a simple, holistic and visual way;
- Assess the consistency of your business model and compare it with the most innovative approaches in the marketplace;
- Identify your organization’s competitive advantages and determine what you can do to strengthen your business model and boost your business activity;
- Turn your ideas into innovative, envelope-pushing projects;
- Use the same language to communicate with all stakeholders.
The business model canvas and value proposition canvas are important tools when starting up a new business, developing a new product or service, or acquiring or repositioning a company. Not only will they facilitate your project-related communication, they will help you think strategically, exchange ideas and get your team on the same page.
