Flevy Management Insights: Business Model Design

A Business Model is a plan for how an organization will create, deliver, and capture value. It is the underlying structure that defines how an organization will generate revenue and make a profit.

The key elements of a Business Model include:

  • Customer Value Proposition: This is the unique value that an organization offers to its customers. It should be compelling, differentiated from competitors, and aligned with customer needs.
  • Target Market: This is the specific group of customers that the organization is targeting with its value proposition. It should be well-defined and able to be served effectively.
  • Revenue Model: This is the specific way in which the organization will generate revenue. It should be aligned with the value proposition and the target market.
  • Cost Structure: This is the specific costs that the organization incurs in order to create and deliver its value proposition. It should be aligned with the revenue model and the target market.
When designing the Business Model, the organization should consider the potential for growth and scalability, in order to support the organization's long-term goals and objectives. The organization should also understand the regulatory environment in which it operates, and ensure that its Business Model complies with relevant laws and regulations.
