Used both tools in my marketing lectures, will evaluate the combined approach together with students in the next term.

On the channel side, I believe this is a useful tool to complete with channel partners (resellers, consultants, etc) to take your proposition to their customers. The model doesn't need to be changed - it just can be used to help channel partners understand how your products/services help them address their customer's needs. ps re the iPad BMC app - it is absolutely great tool to get a snapshot of a business, but the point of the app (at least for me) is to create new models or improve existing models. Lack of a ramp - I am here, but changing this gets my business to there - seriously detracts the financial modelling aspect of an otherwise excellent tool/app/business model showcase...

Although that giant is bigger than almost anyone else on the net, Alex’s one-step-at-a-time walk through (with reader participation) makes the whole thing seem rather reasonable and entirely possible. The lesson to take away is really that although something can seem huge and overwhelming when you first look at it, there are always ways to break it down into more easily-digestible chunks, and there are usually people around you can ask for help, too!

The discussion with client on VP and Customer segment is certainly the one that have the longest lead time. The visual strength of this new concept will bring additional clarity to my customer. I see here a fabulous opportunity to introduce a specific set of hypothesis (introduced by G. Blank) to kick off the experimentation phase. I will test this with my next client.
