Business Innovation

Traditional BM plan

In the old days business innovations were written on a beermat by the executive and his/her advisor(s).

Traditional BM plans

Nowadays more people are involved and the business context is more complex.
Business Model Canvas is a good starting point, but the number of:

  • variables
  • perspectives
  • participants

are too many to see the business innovation

Your organization deserves better!

Value cube

What is needed is the VDMbee value cube:

  • collects various sources
  • in a structured way
  • is based on business engineering best practices
  • provides a fact- and data-based purpose driven strategy

To accomplish this VDMbee created an approach: Continuous Business Model Planning (CBMP)

Purpose Driven Strategy

Purpose driven strategy

“I” made many plans but nothing is solved

  • Too many ideas, information and plans
  • Do we have the same “picture” of ourselves and the market?
  • Do we have the same objective(s)?

Steer by “compass”
based on measuring impact of options

VDMbee in 90 seconds

VDMbee provides structure for successful business models and Business performance monitoring

  • discover ins and outs of business ideas

  • rationalize and prototype strategy

  • analyze scenarios, present and adopt plan

  • monitor impact and be focused on direction

Overview of the conceptual models used in the different stages of CBMP.

Discover

“Discover” covers the creativity part of the method to discover and build shared understanding of and consensus about:

    • how things work, or may or should work

    • how to address issues

    • implement ideas

    • what information / facts matter in this context

    Prototype

    “Prototype” covers the more analytical work of transforming the results of “Discover” into a structured system. This structured system is a representation of the Business, and can be used to perform impact analysis. It functions also as basis for Dashboards, for decision making, that will be developed during the “Adopt” stage.

    Adopt

    “Adopt” is about development of Dashboards, to present the results of “Prototype”, in an interactive way. With focus on:

    • demonstrating impact on the organization of the business and related Value objectives, for the various Participants/stakeholders that area involved

    • moderate decision making about implementation and the actual business change

    • initiate change

    Business operations can during and after implementation monitor the improvements. This is done by comparing the newly implemented baseline with “actuals” (performance metrics). “Actuals” can be imported into VMP to compare Plan versus actuals, and possibly identify reasons to initiate next cycles of innovation and/or transformation. This can result in new Phase(s) in the Plan.
