Congregar vontades em torno de um portfolio de propostas de valor recíprocas

Novos tempos exigem novos modelos de negócio.

"“competitive pressures have pushed business model innovation much higher than expected on CEOs’ priority lists.”" (1)

"companies whose operating margins had grown faster than their competitors’ over the previous five years were twice as likely to emphasize business model innovation, as opposed to product or process innovation." (1)

"A staggering 68 per cent of EU and US drug industry executives have concluded that the current pharmaceutical business model is broken." (2)

"In Plantes’ view, it all boils down to this: is your enterprise like IBM, a model for continuing evolution of its business models – selling off commoditized products to invest in new platforms and business models that advance its “Smarter Planet” vision? Or is your organization on a path to its own Kodak moment?
... In the industrial age, Plantes said leadership teams focused on execution effectiveness around the industry’s business model design. Today, the C-suite ensures success by becoming chief architects of their organization, innovating business models and the platforms and network of partners they leverage.
In the industrial age, the focus was on efficiency, Plantes added. With rapidly changing industry boundaries, fragmenting markets, and unexpected competitors, today’s C-suite must focus first and foremost on agility. Cutting costs that reduce maneuverability is penny-wise and pound-foolish." (3)

Como o termo modelo de negócio está na moda usa-se e abusa-se...

Mary Plantes na citação acima tem o cuidado de referir "modelos de negócio inovadores" e "plataformas e redes de parceiros". Prefiro pensar assim, prefiro, antes de pensar em modelo de negócio (modelo de negócio é a explicação racional que arranjamos à posteriori para descrever o arranjo a que chegamos), pensar na rede de actores que podem ser congregados numa relação simbiótica em que todos têm a ganhar.  Estou mais numa de, primeiro, ver os mercados como configurações que podemos tentar construir congregando vontades em torno de um portfolio de propostas de valor recíprocas.

"help managers see their companies’ identities more clearly in the context of the networks and ecosystems in which their organizations operate. Without a business model perspective, a company is a mere participant in a dizzying array of networks and passive entanglements. ... The message to executives is clear: When you innovate, look at the forest, not the trees — and get the overall design of your activity system right before optimizing the details." (1)
