Business Model Review
Is your current business model fit for scalable growth?
Business Model Review is the foundational stage of the Growth Orienteering (Article: The Anatomy of Growth Orienteering) journey. We work with you to conduct a comprehensive analysis of your current business model(s), using proven frameworks like the Strategyzer Business Model Canvas that breaks down any business into nine essential parts.
This review helps identify the core elements that drive value in your business today, uncover potential gaps and opportunities, and establish a clear baseline for future growth initiatives. We examine how your current business model components align with or potentially constrain your growth ambitions.

In a workshop format we conduct a structured analysis of your current business model using the Business Model Canvas framework to map key components including value proposition, customer segments, revenue streams and cost structure
-
We evaluate the effectiveness and scalability of your existing business model components against your growth objectives

We work with you to surface the key strategic challenges facing the current business model and the growth limiters within the current model
The key capabilities we bring to conduct the business model review
