ENTREPRENEURSHIP INCUBATOR: BUSINESS EDITION
Did you know that only 55 business models are responsible for 90% of the world's most successful businesses?
– What if you had this blueprint to revolutionize your business and drive powerful change?
A strong business model is the bedrock of business success. The brains behind "The Business model Navigator" have
discovered that just 55 business models are responsible for 90% of the world’s most successful businesses. In this
Business incubation, we will learn, practice, and have hands-on of various business models. This business incubation is
adapted from the book “The business Model Navigator” from Gassmann, Frankenberger and Csik.
Our Business Incubator will help you understand the aspects of a business model such as:
What is a Business model?
Why do I need to update my Business model?
How do I adopt an alternative business model to suit my business?
How do I use them to achieve my strategy?
How do I manage innovation and change?
The next Founders Business Incubator starts on 10. October – Join now!
