Yesterday I finished a draft for a simple business model innovation manual co-financed by La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia and DOTARS. In the spirit of open innovation I am sharing this “beta version” online to trigger your feedback.
Draft Business Model Manual (beta version): How to Describe and Improve your Business Model to Compete Better (pdf)
The manual shall help business people describe their business model step by step, assess its strengths and weaknesses in order to then improve it. I’m not yet happy with the document, but it’s start. The final document will be posted here later.
Acknowledgments: A special thanks goes to Dr Vijaya Thyil and Professor Geoffrey Durden of La Trobe University, who enabled this manual. A particular thank you goes to Professor Yves Pigneur of HEC Business School in Switzerland who has been the driving force with whom I have developed the underlying business model concept.
