Overview
Business model innovation is the new strategic imperative for all leaders
Blockbuster's executives saw Netflix coming. Yet they stuck with their bricks and mortar business model, losing billions in shareholder value. They were "netflixed." Business models don't last as long as they used to. Historically CEO's have managed a single business model over their entire careers. Today, all organizations must be capable of designing, prototyping, and experimenting with new business models. The Business Model Innovation Factory provides leaders with the survival skills to create a pipeline of new business models in the face of disruptive markets and competition.
Avoid being netflixed. Your organization must be a business model innovator to stay competitive in today's turbulent world.
Author Saul Kaplan is the founder and chief catalyst of the Business Innovation Factory (BIF), a real world laboratory for exploring and testing new business models and social systems. BIF has attracted a global community of over five thousand innovators and organizes the internationally renowned BIF Collaborative Innovation Summit

"A little repetitive, but great examples" - by Pragmatopian on 14-SEP-2012
Reviewer Rating:
If you're interested in business innovation then it's well worth reading. The examples offered contained useful insights which I have drawn on.
I felt that some points were repeated multiple times in different contexts in a way that seemed to be padding the text rather than providing useful additional reinforcement, and at times the language veered into 'consultantspeak'.
