Flevy Management Insights: BMI

"Diversification is key to growth. However, success lies not just in expanding, but also in pruning your portfolio to strategic advantage," states Mark Wietecha, CEO of Partnership for Medicaid. In the flux and flow of industries and markets, Business Model Innovation (BMI) presents the critical pivot point for growth-oriented businesses. For a progressive executive such as yourself, BMI provides an indispensable framework to challenge industry norms and redirect your company towards novel, sustainable value creation pathways.

Business Model Innovation, distinct from product, process, and organizational innovation, involves transforming the way a company creates, delivers, and captures value. More than a buzzword in today's business lexicon, it's becoming the new norm for competitive advantage. In the pursuit of Operational Excellence, BMI gives you the tools to explore outside the familiar while capitalizing on your core competencies.

For effective implementation, take a look at these BMI best practices:

The Increasing Relevance of Business Model Innovation

In the era of Digital Transformation, BMI has gained rapid momentum. Look at Amazon's business model shift from online bookstore to 'The Everything Store' and beyond, linking retail, technology, and logistics. The pace of change is accelerating, and companies not reshaping their strategies risk falling behind. Adapting, revisiting, and revamping your business model has become an integral part of Strategic Planning.

Business Model Innovation and Value Proposition

How does your company bring value to its customers? This question remains central to BMI. One major factor is “value proposition” where you promise consumers something they perceive as valuable, a key element in Revenue Model, a part of BMI. It's not limited to price—what about convenience, accessibility, or quality? Reevaluating your company's value proposition can redirect your strategy, leading to product or market diversification, cost reduction, or resource utilization optimization.

Key Principles of Business Model Innovation

A crucial first step is understanding your existing business model. Without this baseline, it's impossible to accurately measure deviations resulting from BMI. Focus on the nine building blocks outlined by the Business Model Canvas: customer segments, value propositions, channels, customer relationships, revenue streams, key resources, key activities, key partnerships, and cost structure.

Next, keep an eye on threats and opportunities that might emerge from non-traditional competitors. Disruptions often arise from unlikely quarters, consider the impact of Uber on traditional taxi services, or Airbnb's shakeup of the hospitality industry.

Implementing Business Model Innovation

Implementing BMI goes beyond a single "eureka" moment. It requires consideration of potential ramifications across your operations and strategic alliances, requiring involvement and input from multiple stakeholders. To successfully implement BMI:

  • Begin with a top-down approach, ensuring commitment from C-level executives and involvement from cross-functional teams.
  • Test and revisit your hypotheses constantly. This agile approach helps prototype and refine innovative models faster.
  • Make data-driven decisions. Leverage advanced analytics to continuously track real-time changes and outcomes, ensuring performance alignment with business goals.

Overcoming Challenges in Business Model Innovation

Going down the path of BMI does come with its share of trials. Resistance to change can come both from within your organization and from external stakeholders. To mitigate, communicate clearly, regularly, and effectively about the necessity and benefits of embracing BMI. Another complication is the "innovator's dilemma" where companies struggle to innovate while sustaining their current profitable business. Successful BMI requires a careful balance of exploiting existing business models while exploring new ones.

Leading the Way in Business Model Innovation

Top-tier companies like Google, Apple, and Tesla have set the precedent, demonstrating that continuous BMI can drive innovation and profitability. In this context, as an executive at the helm of a Fortune 500 company, you have the onus and the opportunity to not only steer your company in this paradigm shift but also reshape your industry's future.

Through Business Model Innovation, you can propel your organization beyond the realm of incremental advances, infusing it with a pioneering spirit that demolishes market restrictions and unleashes uncharted paths of growth and success.
