6 ways to create new value for your customers
From products to services
We tend to praise products, perhaps even knowing deep down that it’s not about the product, but the benefits that we get from them that really count. The difference then, between products and services, is that services deliver those benefits to customers directly, getting the job done without ownership or upkeep to worry about.
From shareholder to stakeholder
Generating revenue and making a profit is a result, not a goal. In the long- term, a company will destroy shareholder value if it doesn’t continuously create amazing value for customers, thereby neglecting its stakeholders.
From physical to digital
We humans are physical, tactical creatures. The physicality of objects makes them more tangible to us. Yet, every day we take one step closer to some hybrid version of who we are, merging the online and offline worlds we live in.
From pipeline to platform
Throughout history, the biggest companies used pipeline business models to become what they are today. Yet, it took only a decade for new entrants, using platform business models, to eat their lunch. Why push when you can create pull?
From incremental to exponential
Most business models start out their existence with a short burst of expo- nential growth followed by a long period of linear growth, if they grow at all. However, this does not need to be the case. What if you could inject your business model with some secret sauce that would take it from 10% growth to 10X growth?
From linear to circular
Our traditional economy has limits to growth because linear business models use up resources to make products that eventually go to waste. Circular business models overcome these limits and build an economy where business growth and a positive socio-environmental impact reinforce each other.
