BUSINESS MODEL WARFARE: BOOK & WORKSHOP

Our newest book (and some say our best) is now available!
And with it comes an awesome workshop experience.

The Book

Many years in the making, with  examples from hundreds of companies, dozens of graphics and models, and a complete implementation guide, this is the most complete book on business models ever written.

Here’s a small excerpt:

The failure of any business reflects at root the failure to innovate, failure to recognize change, and the inability to respond to change adequately or appropriately.

And today as we see that yet another massive wave of new technology is about to crash across the global marketplace, what with artificial intelligence, blockchains, machine learning, self-driving cars, robots, quantum computing, etc., etc., all arriving immanently, we must therefore anticipate that every existing business model of every existing business is thoroughly and utterly subject to disruption. This is a stark warning about the need to innovate.

So what do winning business models do? They have four key attributes:

Now, wouldn’t it be so incredibly helpful if there were a formula to explain how to do all this, to simplify it and make it useful in practice? And indeed there is! It’s a simple, three element framework that tells you how to think about innovating your business model, and how to do it: Innovate INSIDE (the means), Build the BRIDGE (the story), and Craft the OUTSIDE (the experience).

Here are examples from 16 companies, 15 winners an one loser (Sears) that show what they do well, and what caused Sears to fail. (In the book, of course, the description of this framework covers multiple chapters, dozens of examples, and provides you with modeling and diagnostic tools to look in detail at your own company’s business model.)

Use this framework and the super detailed explanations in the book to think through your current business model, and to recreate it so that it’s relevant for the next generation of the market.
