Business Model

Architect a resilient, profitable business

What is a Business Model?

The Business Model stimulates the critical thinking needed to properly architect a business. It covers the fundamental strategic areas of the business – value, customer, revenue/profit and structure. The Analysis Tool captures the leadership’s assumptions and decisions, while facilitating the understanding of how alternative assumptions impact the business’s performance. 

The Business Model provides a framework to periodically assess the business’s design and adjust to the new realities as the business grows.

What does the Advisory Services engagement look like?

The Business Model engagement consists of 8 - 10 meetings with the organization’s leadership team facilitated by an Organizational ReWilding Adviser. Each session focuses on key components of the business and identifies ways to add more structure, clarity, and focus to the organization. Assumptions and discoveries are documented in the Analysis Tool. Once the process is completed, the client has ongoing access to the Analysis Tool to refine and perform “what if” analysis.

By the end of the engagement, the client has worked through the fundamental design elements of the business and decided how the business should be architected. This creates an important enduring structure in the company by infusing the building block of a Business Model.

How does a Business Model benefit a business?

Companies that complete a Business Model engagement routinely experience these benefits:

• Clear understanding of the value delivered to customers

• Effective business development strategies driven by customer needs

• Framework for developing new offerings

• Fresh ideas to increase revenue

• Powerful language that advances the leader’s thinking about the business
