An organization's Business model describes how it creates, protects, develops and delivers value. It shows who the organization creates value for, what value it offers and what resources, activities, partners, customer relationships and channels are needed for this.
Therefore, translate the ambition you have formulated into a promising business model. Then record this using the nine elements of the Business Model Canvas (BMC). The ICR growth circles then help you to implement, manage and continuously improve your business model in a targeted manner. The ICR reports provide insight into progress and support you in maintaining and further developing your business model.
Within ICR, the business model does not stand alone, but is part of a wider context. We distinguish four models that build logically on each other:
Organizational Architecture
How do we design the organization so that it can function sustainably?
↓
Business Model
How do we create, protect, develop and deliver value?
↓
Revenue Model
How do we convert that value into sustainable revenues?
↓
Financial Model
How do revenues and costs translate into profit, cash flows, financial continuity and enterprise value?
Together, these four models form a logical chain. A strong Organizational Architecture increases the organization's organizational capacity. This organizational capacity creates the conditions for the sustainable creation, protection, development and delivery of customer value and for converting that value into sustainable income, profit, cash flows, financial continuity and enterprise value.
Organizational Architecture forms the foundation of the business model. She ensures that the business model is not only well designed, but also executable, manageable and scalable.
The business model thus forms the basis for an appropriate revenue model. The revenue model describes how the created value is converted into sustainable returns. The financial model then shows how revenues and costs translate into profit, cash flows, financial continuity and enterprise value.
A good business model offers direction and focus. It helps organizations make conscious choices about how they create value, distinguish themselves from competitors and achieve sustainable value. At the same time, it forms the basis for innovation, growth and the ability to respond flexibly to changing market conditions and customer needs. It provides a framework for developing and implementing new ideas and strategies.
It's a good idea to regularly evaluate and validate your business model. This gives you insight into whether the model still meets the needs of customers, is feasible within the organization's capabilities and offers sufficient basis for sustainable growth and financial continuity.
