The 52 Business Models of The Future:

Changing Company Direction with BigGEST Potential

An interactive webcast presented by the global innovation practice Futureproofing : Next.

Product and service introductions are nice growth bumps. Building better experiences can have even better impacts. But where does the real value get generated? Pivoting or expanding into new business models is the pathway to gold.

In our seventh episode of Futureproofing Now, we take research results gleaned over the last year from our global Corporate Innovation Playbook and rank our top candidates for the business models of the future.

With technology advances, customer acceptance and new propositions, we will mix in some of the traditional corporate paths to wealth creation with some of the newer, value generators. Who will rank in the top 10? And can you take advantage of them?

Futureproofing Now will also be asking our panel of three business model & innovation luminaries to chime in on where they would place their bets. We’ll also be tackling how executives and change agents can go about switching to or adding business model innovation to their arsenal and how to gain acceptance from boards and management who may see these proposals coming through the front door as a misfitted toy, ugly stepchild or intimidating new tenant.

What you’ll learn: 

  • Understand a ranked set of the 52 most promising business models
  • Learn about leading examples & implications of our top 10 business models
  • Identify conditions in place needed to effect business model innovation
  • Get expert insight on how business model innovation really works in corporate situations
  • Note key actions corporate practitioners can make in moving their innovation to the high ground of business modelling 
  • Discover roadmaps, tools and canvases that deliver tangibility business model change 
  • Get access to an introduction by Futureproofing : Next that brings this collection of 52 business models to life
