Thank you for the kind words Francisco. I do indeed find the LatAm region very interesting and have already worked several times in Mexico and Columbia.

Congratulations Alex, it's been a while since I have been reading your work. I think it's just great. At my company I used my company's framework to innovating business models together with some ideas from yours. Are you interested in the LatAm and Hispanic community?. We are open and interested in exchanging ideas and work with you in the near future.
Do you have an email we can get in touch with you personally?

My Best regards
Francisco

An excellent start, but would like to see how this progresses further. First impressions are “good concept for understanding customer drivers… ie in CRM building around the customer.” as key drivers.

In a business model we only describe what we can decide on as a company. The competition is part of the environment of the business model. When designing a business model we indeed have to take competitors into account as a design constraint…

This will be described in our upcoming book.

I miss the inclusion of the impact of competitors in the model. Is this planned as a future extension?

Alex. This document strings together modern thoughts on the subject matter. Thank you. I am about setting up an Ad agency, and Creativity, Research, and Integrity will be part of my value proposition. You model will definitely serve as path finder. I wish you good luck as you work on the final document.
Best regards.

That is a master piece I think. I have searched for “what really a business model is” for hours but fortunately I found yours. The thing that makes your business model design invaluable is the way that it looks a recipe for what to do, step by step. Thanks for sharing this business model desing in the spirit of “open innovation”. No doubt that this model design will be developed for the sake of open innovation.

Great great work

I would also like you to consider looking at the various works of Henry Chesbrough’s of HAAS B school

http://www.hbs.edu/research/facpubs/workingpapers/papers2/0001/01-002.pdf

I have a great deal of intrest in the business models work and I have followed Christensen’s and Chesbrough’s work for a while. I however like the structured path you are taking in defining and especially theorizing how business models can be re-designed or new ones innovated. The Google model is especially a great innovation. I would especially want to think that the current social networking and other so babtized ‘web 2.0′ enterprises, social responsibility and the environment debate might help us move beyond the way we define value and the ‘currencies’ we use to represent ‘revenue’ when rewarding of value.

Please let me know how you are going with this piece of work.
