TEMPLATE

HOW TO GO ABOUT IT

1.

Review the Business Model Canvas for one of the business model concepts. Start by look at block of the canvas and compare the list of points in that block with the list of points in the same block of the current business model.

2.

Give each point in that block a separate rating using the following scale:
– – A key activity, capability, channel or resource required for the new business model is not present or is significantly below the performance required.
– A key activity, capability, channel or resource required for the new business model is present but is below the performance required.
+ A key activity, capability, channel or resource required for the new business model is present and meets the performance required.
No symbol against a point means that no change is required.

3.

Do the same for each of the remaining eight blocks of the canvas until you have rated the entire business model.

4.

Repeat the process for the remaining business model concepts.
