Reinventing your business model


My understanding of the article by Johnson, Christensen and Kagermann:


To determine whether a company needs to reinvent its business model, following steps need to be undertaken:
  •        Find what makes the existing model successful or unsuccessful.
  •        Find out signals that suggest that the model needs change
  •        Decide if changing the model is worth the effort


Understanding the current model

A successful model has three components:

Customer Value Proposition: providing customers a unique offering that competitors cannot provide

Profit Formula: the model generates revenue for the company through multiple factors like revenue model and inventory turnover

Key resources and processes: the company has in place the required resources and processes to deliver value to the customers

Identifying the need for new model

An opportunity: when large consumer segments find existing solutions too expensive or complicated, a new technology opening up new avenues etc

A need: response to shift in competition or overcoming the challenge of new or evolving competitors
