As for most bloggers, there is a time when you have to take a time-out. This moment has come for me. After an intense period of merger talks of Arvetica with an American company, we have finally opted for independence (something I will write a blogpost about one day)… As a consequence I will allocate most of my time in the near future on building some specific Arvetica competencies and assets.
In this context of autonomy Arvetica is strengthening its efforts in the private banking / wealth management domain. This is one of the reasons why I am taking a time out from this blog: During the next few weeks I will build up a new blog called “private banking innovation”, which shall become the reference in the industry.
I hope I won’t lose any readers on “Business Model Design and Innovation”, while I am focusing on other projects in the short term. One thing is sure: I’ll be back soon! There will probably be some cross-postings in the meantime…
Warm regards from Geneva,
Alex
Alex, I’ve just started handing your URl to a broader community
Anyway I indeed hope you will be back soon 
And in the meantime: Keep growing the corporate library in your corporate living room
Best, Ralf.
Ralf, I will probably cross-post frequently on this blog until I can commit substantially to business model design & innovation again
And indeed, the library is growing…
Looking forward to seeing you in Geneva next time.
Best wishes to you Alex, and I know your new direction will be a success, because you will make it so.

Hi Colin, thanks for the kind words! Hope we can meet again soon to chat about innovation in banking…
Your blog is great! I can’t believe I haven’t seen it until now. And, what a coincidence that you have just recently decided to “slow it down a bit”. All the best in your new endeavour.
alex – i have enjoyed the diagram process of business model design and will miss your posts.
I have several personal friends( one is also my financial advisor) who are top level professionals in the wealth management business.
Is what Arvetica providing of potential use to these two friends of mine?
Could they be useful to you in testing your services?
Seveal years ago we did a collaborative design session with Paine Webber to map out their strategic approach to high net worth finanacial services – so I might be able to help you by learningmore about what value you provide to clients.
Anyone who groks diagramming is high on my list of valueable people, so I hope we can keep in touch.
Best of luck on your journey.

PS I am working on a project that could possibly pick up some of the time-sensitive blogging on business model design and innovation.
My colleagues here are at InnovationLabs.com and may be interested inhelping you keep the blog alive as co-posters.
Let meknow if you are interested incontacting them.
