The integration of the business model canvas and the service blueprinting to assist the conceptual design of new product-service systems

The capacity to guide the evolution and creation of new products (manufactured goods or services) is crucial for the enterprise's profitability. Hence, enterprises have acquired the capacity to manage the future of their product portfolio. However, companies that offer a combination of manufactured goods and services as an integrated system or a Product-Service System confront challenging conditions to maintain or increase their market share due to the complex relationship between manufacturing and service production systems. The complexity of a PSS makes it challenging to adapt its physical products to new customer requirements, satisfy new standards, or develop/adopt new technologies because any modification in one part of the system will undoubtedly affect the other. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an approach for managing the development process of a PSS from a broad perspective. The approach presented in this article combines the advantages of the Business Model Canvas to define the crucial functions of a business model with the service blueprinting capacity to represent service processes. The proposal describes a five stages methodology: Conceptualization, Business Model Design, Product-Service System (PSS) Scenarios, Blueprint design, and Validation. The methodology helps the analysis of a PSS from three perspectives: product, use, and result, which are the typical PSS scenarios. A case study applied to a company that distributes purified water is helpful to illustrate the methodology. Finally, the methodology includes some aspects that favor implementing creative and dynamic business models, emphasizing the constant changes in the evolution of products and services.

Van business model canvas naar een lerende en intregrale aanpak van ondernemen door middel van business modelling

Het business model canvas is het afgelopen decennium populair geworden voor de ontwikkeling van organisaties en om ondernemerschap te faciliteren. Het model is ook in het hoger onderwijs populair als methode om te leren ondernemen. De populariteit neemt niet weg dat er vragen zijn over de effectiviteit van business modelling en de wijze waarop de aanpak het beste ingezet kan worden. In dit artikel brengen we deze ontwikkelingen samen door te laten zien hoe business modelling op vier verschillende manieren gebruikt kan worden voor het faciliteren van lerend ondernemerschap en het creëren van een lerende onderneming.

Re-organise: Game-Based Learning of Circular Business Model Innovation

This study furthers game-based learning for circular business model innovation (CBMI), the complex, dynamic process of designing business models according to the circular economy principles. The study explores how game-play in an educational setting affects learning progress on the level of business model elements and from the perspective of six learning categories. We experimented with two student groups using our game education package Re-Organise. All students first studied a reader and a game role description and then filled out a circular business model canvas and a learning reflection. The first group, i.e., the game group, updated the canvas and the reflection in an interactive tutorial after gameplay. The control group submitted their updated canvas and reflection directly after the interactive tutorial without playing the game. The results were analyzed using text-mining and qualitative methods such as word co-occurrence and sentiment polarity. The game group created richer business models (using more waste processing technologies) and reflections with stronger sentiments toward the learning experience. Our detailed study results (i.e., per business model element and learning category) enhance understanding of game-based learning for circular business model innovation while providing directions for improving serious games and accompanying educational packages.

Positie kiezen met het Canvas-model. Kwaliteitsmedewerkers. Doen en laten

Kwaliteitsmedewerkers zien zich nog wel eens in een lastig dilemma geplaatst. Als geen ander zullen ze uitdragen dat de verantwoordelijkheid voor kwaliteit bij het management en de werkvloer ligt. Maar wanneer het er op aankomt – bijvoorbeeld bij een formele certificering – dan zijn het niet zelden toch de kwaliteitsmensen die zélf in actie komen om het allemaal voor elkaar te krijgen. Ze delen graag in de vreugde, maar érgens voelt het niet goed.

An online tool for business modelling and a refinement of the Business Canvas

We give a refinement of the well known business model canvas by Osterwalder and Pigneur by splitting the basic blocks into further subblocks to reduce confusion and increase its expressive power. The splitting is used in an online tool which in addition comes with a set of questions to further structure the business modelling process and help doing thought experiments.
