    Daniel and Jorge, if only I were rich and famous :-D

    What is true: That I sincerely appreciate that you believed in my work early on during my journey! Truly special and it was part of making this book reality bye allowing me to take time off and produce content…

    Warm regards to Mexico!

    Alex,

    First of all, congratulation for the book. I was so eager to see it. And now here it is and i can wait to start reading it.

    I’ve been reading and tracking your blog for more than a year. From the beginnings, I said to myself that you have a potential and here you are delivering the value and sharing it.

    Have you thought about a business model for yourself and what would be the best model for delivering that expertise; of course beyond the book and the blog :)

    Regards,
    Othman

    @Aidin: Hope the work will be useful to you in Iran

    @Jan: I’ll keep my feet firmly on the ground ;-)

    @Othman: Of course I have a business model – one of my projects is to build an online community around business model expertise!

    Hi Alex,

    I’m using the business model for a study case.

    How would you define the distribution channel of a service company? I am talking about Better Place.

    Also, how you think it’s possible to connect your business model with the “sources of value” (e.g., amit, zott, 2001). I mean, how do you connect the value creation with the business model? I think we have it there, of course, but it is not that explicit. For example, how do you measure a more efficient business model from another? Or one with a different structure? Or with different complementary activities?

    Thanks.
    Alessio

    Alex, great talk. But please give attribution for the Xerox material!

    Henry, you’re absolutely right to point out the omission. I usually reference the origin of the Xerox example in your work. The ticking clock (7 min. presentation) probably made me lose my usual calm ;-)
