Business Model You

Here is what each one represents:

• Your key partners: The people who support you and help you accomplish your work: your colleagues, your circle of contacts, suppliers, subcontractors…
• Key activities: What are the essential tasks you accomplish?
• Key resources: You and the means at your disposal such as your personality, your skills (education, training…) and your interests.
• Your Customers: For whom do you create value? This can be your colleagues who need you to accomplish their tasks, companies or people who use what you produce (your product or service).
• Your added value: Describe what you bring to others so they can accomplish their tasks. Why do your customers call on you? What competitive advantages do you have compared to other competitors or colleagues?
• Channels: How do you communicate with your customers, colleagues to deliver your value (email, social networks, phone, face to face…)?
• Customer relationship: How would you define the way you interact with your customers? Is it a relationship of trust, loyalty, or a unique service?
• What it costs you to do this work (costs)time, travel, energy, stress…
• What you receive in return for this work (income, personal returns and benefits): : Salary, financial benefits, recognition, personal satisfaction, civic engagement…

Once this exercise is completed, you can fill in the table below which will help you better target the elements that are not satisfactory. What would you like to change?

For example, realizing that what weighs on you is the number of emails you receive because you prefer to communicate by phone. Or, another example, noticing that what bothers you is not the function and therefore the tasks to be performed, but that your dissatisfaction is generated by the customer to whom you provide a service…

We can sometimes thus come to the conclusion that, ultimately and overall, your situation is satisfactory apart from one or two elements that it is important to target and try to change or improve.
