Describe, design and plan your idea

When you need to capture thinking and ideas or test out future ways of working in the business, it can be challenging to work out model, process or thinking tools you'll use.

What? You don't use any model or tool?

There are lots out there - so if you're yet to flip through the book 'Business Model Generation', check it out.

Every week I use the business model generation techniques with entrepreneurs, solo operators and leaders of business units and teams. It's a brilliant one-canvas approach to strategic and entrepreneurial thinking.

Brilliant because you can play, describe, design and come up with ideas about your business model thinking. 

How might this work?
Who would this serve?
How would we get it to them?
What relationships would be needed?

Best of all, when you're testing out business model thinking, you can work with the Business Model Canvas - a pdf to print out and use as the basis of a meeting, workshop or think tank. There's also the app I use on my ipad to invent, discuss, plan and collaborate on business thinking.

And Business Model Generation encourages you to combine the Post-it note and the canvas - woo hoo - you get to move things around, keep it visual, collaborative, innovative and more likely to create outcomes that will have legs. 
 
Check out the book, the model and the approach ... and get greater leverage and impact from your ideas.
