In this interactive session, Alex and Tendayi work with a real life BoS Conference attendee (the guys from PDQ.com) to show how to: evaluate your portfolio of existing innovations, evaluate your existing business model; understand its strengths and weaknesses; then use the right questions to redesign a breakthrough business model. They demonstrate how to use nine business model questions to reinvent your business as you consider the strategic shifts in your environment.
You will learn how to:
- Distinguish between efficiency, sustaining and transformative innovations.
- Review an existing business model using the right questions.
- Redesign the business model with breakthrough ideas.
