Business Model Visualization

The Grove's partner in Amsterday, Patrick Van der Pijl, founder and CEO of Business Model, Inc., has knitted together the approaches represented by the four best-selling books shown below in a service offering clients are clamoring to use. He was on the core team that created Business Model Generation, now in 25 languages and selling over 500,000 worldwide. He combined that with The Grove's Strategic Visioning Graphic Guides and translated Visual Meetings into Dutch. Visual Meetings has been a best seller and is now in 15 languages. Business Model You applied business modeling to individuals. Finally Gamestorming is Dave Gray's reframing of faciitation practices as games. This too has been very well received. Click here to see a nice video BMI put together from a recent symposium in Holland describing the integration. The Grove will be partnering with BMI to offer Business Model Visualization workshop in the SF Bay Area in the new year.

Visual Leaders, the capstone book in the Visual Leadership Series John Wiley & Company has supported (of which Visual Meetings was the first), will be in the stores the first week in January. Help spread the word. If you are planning on buying the book on Amazon, do it January 7 to help us get the most visibility.

Dave,

The approaches are fine (not necessarily new). I've been using the previous 3 books for quite some time in my workshops and stated BMYOU in addition to some of your other templates as of this year.

Do you think there are additional Visualization and Design tools that could be added to this depending on the approach and aim of the client? I use a mixture of techniques that can be applied.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your comment... I should have elaborated a bit further on the previous message.
I was referring to the 4 books in the Business Model Visualization approach graphic. As mentioned I have been using this approach(books/tools) along with the Grove's Strategic Visioning Graphic Guides for quite some time now for my clients in Tokyo Japan... along with Business Model You(BMYou). I've just started using Prezi about a month ago and find it useful. I agree on the use of four-box models. I am looking for more useful tools on strategy segmentation. Looking forward to including Visual Leaders as part of consulting/facilitation practice.
