Information on products and services of a company are just nowadays more easily available than ever, which leads to high market transparency. Also the ever-faster and easier ability to imitate products and services lead to an interchangeability by customers. So often there is a lack of a clear differentiation from competitors.

In order to differentiate and to secure market share, companies often reduce prices or offer free additional services. Both measures will cause lower profits and companies finding themselves in a price spiral. Thus the long-term existence of the company is at risk. A company sale in such a situation becomes increasingly hopeless.

One possibility to build strong customer relationships and to act sustainably successfully on the market is to understand and innovate the business model of your company.

Starting from the needs of the customer, the current business model and the potential of the company, new products and services are developed and integrated into a sustainable innovative business model

Within our business model analysis we apply specially developed questions such as:

• How do external factors influence your industry and operating business models?
• How are business models of the own company, of customers, of partners and of competitors designed?
• Which strengths and weaknesses exist for the own business model and how does it align with future-proof?
• Do employees know, understand and follow the business model of the company?
• Is the potential of new business models identified, evaluated and explored?
• How can new business models be tested in order to reduce risk and raise chances?
• How are new business models successfully integrated within your company?
• What time horizon is realistic and available for the implementation?

Based on the analysis of your business model, we derive revenue-enhancing results for your company such as

• Detect the value chain of the industry to identify ways of forward or backward integration.
• Identify the most important driver within the industry, to derive opportunities and risks for its own business model.
