Pro-Tips
Use a sticky note for each and every one of the building blocks of your business model. Ideas need to be mobile.
Use words AND images to describe your business model building blocks to enhance big picture understanding.
Increase the clarity of your business model by color-coding all elements related to a specific client segment.
Don't fall in love with your first idea. Sketch out alternative business models for the same product, service, or technology.
Start from a blank Canvas when you explain your business model. Tell your business model story one sticky note at a time.
Map out every new and innovative business model you come across. Understand, learn and try to apply to your model.
