@bramk Thanks for hunting us! This really has proven to be the perfect companion for business experimentation!

@nikkielizdemere Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your passion! It’s always exciting to connect with others who appreciate the depth and impact of business models. We put a lot of effort into ensuring that this deck was well-researched and meticulously developed over those three years - in collaboration with teams applying what they discovered along the way. I'm thrilled to hear your interest and can't wait for you to try it out. Here's to hoping it adds some valuable perspectives to your ongoing exploration of business models! 💙

@almarie_stander Indeed! Choosing a card deck format over a digital app was intentional to enhance team interaction. The tactile nature of the card deck promotes active engagement and collaboration, making it easier for teams to physically share ideas, rearrange concepts, and visually map out business strategies together in real-time. This format encourages open dialogue and helps build a shared understanding (and language) among all participants, which is often more challenging to achieve with digital tools. Plus, the deck can be used anywhere, anytime, without needing tech setup, making it versatile for all sorts of workshop environments.

@chritopher_bond Thank you! Yes, the deck indeed encompasses 75 distinct business model patterns, each crafted to provide insightful, actionable strategies for various types of businesses. We aimed to cover a comprehensive range of models to ensure utility and applicability across different industries and scenarios.

@stockmarr Thanks, @stockmarr! I managed to pull off the design under some serious counselling from a fellow Lenus eHealth colleague, Amir Gavriel-Hazan (🙏). The fantastic illustrations are by artist Annesofie Sandal - a Dane resident in New York.

@aman_wen Absolutely! This toolkit is designed to be highly adaptable, making it just as valuable for small businesses as for larger corporations. The patterns included cover a broad spectrum of business models that can be tailored to fit different scales and resource levels. Small businesses can selectively apply these patterns to discover innovative approaches that work within their unique constraints. This flexibility makes it a practical tool for any business looking to innovate and improve. Funny thing is that I've seen that big corps often look to the cards applied mostly by startups as they try to guardrail themselves from being disrupted. Everyone can learn from the other - big or small. 😊

@fabdurso Thanks so much for the upvote and the encouragement! It's hard to say at this point, but seeing how teams work with it, their discussions (on a whole new level) and the results they end up with, I'm very optimistic about the impact of this deck. My other decks are very much focused on underestanding users and customers, how they think and how to design something that works for them. But there are two sides of the coin to any successful product: 1. The user side (it solves a customer need) 2. The business side (it works for the business) Until the launch of this deck, I've been very (almost too much) concerned with the first. That's why I created the Business Model Patterns - to close the gap between user needs and business needs. It works so well in harmony with the other decks - but can surely also act as a stand-alone deck. I'm crossing my fingers for it! 🤞🏻

@derkolstad Thanks so much! I’m glad you like it. Facilitating a game-like setting as a learning and collaboration tool is indeed an effective way collaborate (and align around complex concepts).

@gargtoshit Thanks Toshit!

@andrew_hawel Thank you so much for the kind words and support! It’s been a rewarding journey seeing how the card deck has sparked innovation across various teams and contexts. One of my favorite exercises involves teams using the cards to map out and then challenge each business model element, fostering deep dives into alternatives that could enhance their strategies. The card deck lists and explains a couple of exercises around this: 1) (Basic) Business Model Mapping (as we all know it, using the Business Model Canvas) 2) "Reimagine Building Blocks", which examines each element in detail. The backside of each card highlights examples of companies implementing the business model, but also marks which "boxes" of the Business Model Canvas that it influences. This insight can be used to quickly search for Business Model Patterns, which for instance deal with the Key Partner setup. Another exercise that always yields an interesting find is the "Competition Radar", which maps out each competitor on a radar chart. This ends up providing a very insightful map highlighting strengths and weaknesses among yourself and competitors. A variation of this is doing a competitor radar on a fictive upcoming competitor, who uses new tech (for instance AI) or has some other advantage... This lets you compare and contrast how you best position yourself in opposition (or in partnership?) with potential upcomign threats. I could go on... But those 3 exercises are included in the card deck. Keep pushing the boundaries, and thanks again for your enthusiasm and support!

@batteryless Thank's Asbjørn!

@filippo_calabrese ! I’m thrilled to hear that our card deck resonates with your experiences in Italy. Absolutely, the tactile element of physical cards and the dynamic of collaborating in a shared physical space can deeply enhance learning and collaboration. It's great to know that our deck could complement and enrich the tools you're already using. Here’s to more engaging and productive sessions with your team! 🙏
