Please join the Washington Network Group when we meet with Mark Haas, Founder and President of Research and Organization Management, a Washington, D.C. management consulting firm developing powerful strategies for mission-focused organizations. Mark will lead a workshop on the Business Model Canvas - Its history, fundamentals and how it can directly improve your own business. Mark will show us how the canvas can be applied to business units, projects and individuals, as well as companies as a whole. Each participant will leave with a draft business model canvas for their own purposes.
Mark Haas CMC, FIMC
The traditional business plan of the past few generations has given way to the business model, specifically the Business Model Canvas. Used by startups and global corporations alike, the business model canvas is the perfect tool for organizations to both strengthen their own business operations as well as deliver greater value to their customers and constituents. The business model canvas - on one page - clarifies and communicates simply how a business creates, delivers and captures value. The canvas can be applied to business units, projects and individuals, as well as companies as a whole.
This workshop will bring you up to speed in understanding the history, fundamentals and impact on which the business model canvas is built. We'll leave you with three ways you can directly improve your own organization. Ultimately, this is about making stronger companies and communities.
Participants will learn how to:
1. Create and validate a business model that shows how to create, deliver and capture greater value in their business using the concepts and examples of the business model canvas;
2. Strengthen their administration, development and service delivery based on a validated and continuously updated business model;
3. Develop new high-value products and services by applying business model concepts based on more than a dozen innovative ways businesses have "hacked the business model canvas."
Additionally, each participant will leave with a draft business model canvas for their own purposes.
