WeDecide and Özyeğin Üniversity host Board of Innovation for  Business Model Innovation - Designing new business models that rock!

How can you earn €2,000 on selling a MacBook with a standard retail price of only €1,300? How is it possible that cars are given away for FREE? Why can people buy a book with the value of a tweet instead of cash? And most importantly, what can I learn from all of this? 

More and more people are talking about Business Model Innovation. But what is business model innovation exactly? How can my organization benefit from it? And how do I get started? Get practical answers and instant inspiration in this workshop.

Research has shown that innovating your business model can create up to 25 times the competitive advantage compared to product and process innovation. However, Board of Innovation found that only 17% of the companies have look at their business model and compared with that of competitors. Time to change that focus!

Join business model expert Philippe De Ridder as he shares his views and tips on this topic, and how you can apply the latest techniques and trends in your business.

 What do you take home from the workshop:

• Why is business model innovation changing entire markets?
• How to design (new) business models?
• As 80% of our creative ideas come from analogy thinking…which successes and and failures can e learn from?
• what are new possible revenue streams for my business...

Which successes and failures can we learn from?

• How to work with Board of Innovation's 16 Business Model Blocks

It will be a highly interactive workshop in which we combine success and failure examples, lessons learned, interactive exercises, and business model templates that you can use the next day to shake up your business.
