You've prepared or documented your innovative business model. So, what's the next step?
Surely, the business model must be implemented and its performance monitored while taking corrective steps as necessary. The Business Model Dashboard allows anyone to translate into reality and comprehensively manage the performance of a business model. In other words, the Business Model Dashboard reduces the risk of failure of implementing a business idea or an innovative business model. Also, the Business Model Dashboard can be used to facilitate design of Blue Ocean strategies for the entire enterprise.
