business model innovation design we're on a road to nowhere // on a quest to analyze and explore the design of business model innovations, i.e. 'hideous and hidden things' like organizational structures and capabilities, corporate strategies and all things related // on a yellow brick road with a girl, a lion and a straw-man wasting our time // …

This is really cool, Henry Chesbrough explaining how (and why) to rethink business models.

The new book tackles the idea of radically making over traditional, closed business plans [make that ‘business models’ not plans, MK] by implementing what may seem to be counterintuitive tactics.

I am looking forward to his new book, Open Business Models: How to Thrive in the New Innovation Landscape, foremost to explore his concepts of openness (and/or connectivity?).

Food for thought for Business Model Managers or should that be Business Model Innovators and Designers 😉
