Building Business Models That Matter

As business people we have a powerful tool in our hands: the knowledge of how to build, run, and manage businesses. Let us be ambitious and put that knowledge to work for things that really matter.

Concept

Many different business conceptualizations exist; We use Osterwalder's work and thesis propose a single reference model based on the similarities of a wide range of business model conceptualizations. With his business model design template, an enterprise can easily describe their business model

The 9 Building Blocks

We believe a business model can best be described through nine basic building blocks that show the logic of how a company intends to make money. The nine blocks cover the four main areas of business: customers, offer, infrastructure, and financial viability.

  • Infrastructure
    • Key Activities: The activities necessary to execute a company's business model.
    • Key Resources: The resources that are necessary to create value for the customer.
    • Partner Network: The business alliances which complement other aspects of the business model.
  • Offering
    • Value Proposition: The products and services a business offers.
  • Customers
    • Customer Segments: The target audience for a business' products and services.
    • Channels: The means by which a company delivers products and services to customers. This includes the company's marketing and distribution strategy.
    • Customer Relationship: The links a company establishes between itself and its different customer segments. The process of managing customer relationships is referred to as customer relationship management.
  • Finances
    • Cost Structure: The monetary consequences of the means employed in the business model. A company's DOC.
    • Revenue Streams: The way a company makes money through a variety of revenue flows. A company's income.
