Read Presentation Deep Dive

Organizations across industries face unprecedented challenges as markets evolve rapidly and innovation disrupts established norms. Even organizations with cutting-edge technological products struggle to sustain long-term success.

Many organizations, despite their innovation capabilities, overlook the need to address underlying business logic. This gap often leads to missed opportunities and declines in market relevance.

Recognizing these challenges, the Business Model Navigator, developed by the University of St. Gallen, provides a structured framework to help organizations innovate effectively. The Business Model Navigator framework identifies 55 business model patterns (BMP), derived from analyzing over 250 successful models across 25 years, which address dimensions such as target customers, value propositions, value chains, and financial viability.

This PPT presentation discusses 9 of these business model patterns in depth:

1. Add-On – The Add-On Model offers a core product or service at a base price—then boosts revenue through optional upgrades, accessories, or premium features.

2. Affiliation – The Affiliation Model leverages external partners (affiliates) who promote a company's products or services in exchange for a commission or referral fee.

3. Aikido – The Aikido Model turns a competitor's strengths or mainstream offerings on their head, positioning a product or service in a contrasting way to gain market advantage.

4. Auction – The Auction Model creates a competitive bidding environment where buyers submit bids, and the highest bidder secures the product or service. The price is determined by the market through competitive bidding

5. Barter – The Barter Model allows businesses and individuals to trade goods or services directly without using money, making it a practical solution in cash-limited economies.

6. Cash Machine – The Cash Machine Model generates immediate cash flow by requiring customers to pay upfront before receiving goods or services.

7. Cross-Selling The Cross-Selling Model increases revenue by offering customers complementary products or services related to their primary purchase.

8. Crowdfunding – The Crowdfunding Model raises capital by collecting small contributions from a large group of individuals, reducing reliance on traditional investors.

9. Crowdsourcing – The Crowdsourcing Model asks for external contributors to generate ideas, content, or solutions, reducing reliance on internal resources.

For each BMP, we discuss key elements, the monetization strategy, implementation challenges, case studies, among other areas.

This deck on business model patterns also includes PPT templates for you to use in your own business presentations.

Topic FAQ

What is the Business Model Navigator framework and how does it help firms redesign business models?

The Business Model Navigator is a structured framework that helps firms innovate by focusing on how they create, deliver, and capture value. It codifies repeatable business model patterns to systematically explore alternatives, enabling teams to compare elements such as customer value proposition, profit mechanism, and value chain.

What are the core elements I should analyze when evaluating a business model pattern?

Core elements to analyze include the customer value proposition, the profit mechanism (monetization strategy), and the value chain or delivery model. These dimensions determine fit and viability and are the primary analytical lenses used across the Business Model Navigator and its pattern templates.

How many business model patterns exist and what is the evidence behind them?

The Business Model Navigator identifies 55 business model patterns derived from an empirical analysis of more than 250 successful business models examined over 25 years, forming the basis for pattern-based innovation work.

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

Prioritize decks that explain the underlying framework, provide concrete pattern templates, include case study summaries, and offer implementation checklists and customizable slides for workshops. Flevy’s Business Model Navigator: Business Model Patterns (Part 1) includes templates, case study summaries, and implementation checklists.

How do I assess the value of purchasing templates and slide decks for business model work?

Assess whether templates reduce setup time, support workshop facilitation, and map directly to pattern diagnostics (value proposition, profit mechanism, value chain). A useful package will include slide templates and implementation checklists that you can adapt to your organization’s metrics.

How should I compare monetization strategies like Add-On, Cash Machine, and Crowdfunding for my business?

Compare based on timing of cash flows, customer willingness to pay for upgrades or upfront access, dependency on third-party contributors, and fit with your value proposition and delivery model. The Business Model Navigator materials analyze monetization strategies across the nine patterns covered in Part 1.

What common implementation challenges arise when adopting a new business model pattern?

Typical challenges include organizational resistance to change, aligning stakeholders behind new revenue mechanisms, and ensuring financial viability during transition. These specific issues are highlighted as common implementation challenges in the Business Model Navigator materials.

How can I structure a workshop to introduce and test business model patterns with my team?

A practical workshop structure begins with a short overview of the framework, a focused pattern deep-dive with case study analysis, then workstream sessions on implementation risks and action plans. The deck suggests a 30-minute overview, 90-minute deep dive, and 60-minute implementation session.
