Topic FAQ

What are the typical phases of a business model innovation process?

A common structured approach begins by mapping the current business model, surfacing foundational beliefs, challenging those beliefs, sanity-testing reframed options, and then formulating a new model. Flevy’s 4 Areas of Business Model Innovation (BMI) presents this as 5 critical success factors that guide the process, namely 5 phases.

How do organizations identify foundational beliefs that support their business model?

Organizations identify foundational beliefs by documenting how value is currently created and delivered, analyzing customer relationships, cataloging key activities and strategic resources, and reviewing cost structures. The described approach recommends explicit mapping of these elements across Customer Relationships, Key Activities, Strategic Resources, and Cost Structures.

What does a "sanity test" of a reframed business model involve?

A sanity test checks whether a reframed model aligns with market signals, organizational capabilities, and financial implications before broader rollout. The deck lists "Sanity Test Our Reframe" as one of the 5 critical success factors and positions it between challenging beliefs and formalizing the new model within the 5-phase method.

What should I look for when choosing a business model innovation slide deck or toolkit?

Look for a clear methodology for identifying existing models, tools to surface and challenge foundational beliefs, templates for customer-relationship and cost-structure work, examples or case studies, and a workshop agenda to operationalize sessions. The described deck includes templates, assessment tools, case studies, and a workshop agenda across 4 key areas.

How much time do the included workshop templates and agendas typically assume?

The provided sample workshop agenda includes timed modules such as a 60-minute Business Model Innovation overview and a 90-minute Customer Relationship Innovation session, plus a 60-minute Key Activities module. Slide templates and tools are built to support those specific session lengths and preparation needs.

I need to redesign customer relationships after digital disruption—what framework should I use?

Start by mapping current customer relationships and underlying beliefs, then identify digital-driven opportunity areas for loyalty and empowerment, challenge assumptions, sanity-test reframes, and build presentation-ready slides. Flevy’s 4 Areas of Business Model Innovation (BMI) specifically addresses Customer Relationships as one of the 4 key areas.

How should I approach shifting strategic resources from ownership to access models?

Use a five-step approach: identify the existing resource model, surface beliefs that favor ownership, challenge those beliefs, sanity-test access-based reframes against capability and costs, then formalize a new resource model. The presentation explicitly treats Strategic Resources and Ownership vs. Access as topics in its methodology and guidance, following the 5-phase sequence.

Can a single BMI framework be adapted across different industries, and how?

Yes; adapt by tailoring case studies, examples, and KPIs to industry specifics while using the same diagnostic steps—identify model, determine beliefs, challenge, sanity-test, and formulate a new model. The deck includes customization guidance and slide templates intended for cross-industry application with industry-specific adjustments.

BUSINESS MODEL INNOVATION PPT SLIDES

Framework for Business Model Innovation Steps

This PPT slide presents a framework for Business Model Innovation (BMI), emphasizing the need to address outdated beliefs within existing business models for value creation. Leaders must first identify the prevailing business model in their industry to understand the current landscape. Organizations should analyze foundational beliefs guiding their operations and critically examine whether these beliefs remain valid in a rapidly evolving market. Sanity testing the reframed beliefs ensures new strategies align with market realities. The process culminates in formulating a new business model that reflects these insights, enabling organizations to unlock new value and adapt effectively to changing market dynamics.

Critical Steps in Business Model Innovation Framework

This PPT slide outlines a structured approach to Business Model Innovation (BMI) through 3 critical steps. The first step, "Identify Existing Business Model," focuses on recognizing the prevailing business model in the industry, particularly in sectors like financial services where scale is essential for profitability. The second step, "Determine Foundational Beliefs," involves analyzing assumptions related to customer expectations, technological advancements, cost structures, and operational methodologies. For example, financial service providers may assume customers prefer cost-effective, scalable automated interfaces due to IT scalability benefits. The final step, "Challenge Underlying Beliefs," encourages organizations to rethink established norms, as demonstrated by Philips Lighting questioning the belief that the lighting industry could not evolve. This step fosters radical ideas that can redefine industry standards, particularly by leveraging cloud technology.

Transforming Customer Loyalty into Empowerment Strategies

This PPT slide explores the evolution of customer relationships within Business Model Innovation (BMI), contrasting traditional loyalty beliefs with a focus on customer empowerment. The conventional view holds that loyal customers reduce acquisition costs and enhance reputation,, but digital advancements have made customers more informed and less passive. Loyalty programs are increasingly seen as restrictive. The innovative model advocates for empowering customers to influence product design and decision-making, fostering deeper connections and aligning with their self-actualization desires. An example from the insurance industry illustrates this shift, where companies enable informed investment decisions through web-based tools. This empowerment strategy is linked to growth, emphasizing the need for businesses to adapt their customer engagement strategies to meet the demands of today's informed consumers.

Transitioning from Ownership to Access in Resource Management

This PPT slide examines resource management within Business Model Innovation (BMI), contrasting traditional asset ownership with an access-focused model. Conventional beliefs assert that owning valuable assets is essential for strategic advantage, often leading to high maintenance costs and limiting market responsiveness. In contrast, the access model promotes collaborative consumption, leveraging digital technology and flexible partnerships to optimize resource utilization, reduce transaction costs, and enhance value creation. Examples include Peerby, which facilitates sharing household items, and Adobe's subscription model for software access. The maritime industry also reflects this trend, with port authorities providing on-demand access to storage facilities. This shift towards access models disrupts traditional ownership paradigms, fostering innovation and collaboration while enhancing efficiency and customer satisfaction.
