Business Models

What is a business model?

A business model gives a picture of an organization from a high-level perspective, and enables the organisation to understand how the various parts of the business work together, a well defined business model overview will also allow the business to simulate change, therefore enabling better and more robust decisions.

How do we approach developing your business model?

Abelard works with  organisations in order to collaboratively develop a deep understanding of their business. You'll get a deep understanding of your value proposition, how your customers see your products and services, who they should be, how to reach them and how to build the right relationships with them. These are the elements that drive value in your business and revenues from sales. We'll also look at the key collaborative relationships with suppliers and partners, and the key activities that you undertake and key resources that you need as a business. These element inform business efficiency and your cost base.

Your output from the analysis we undertake using an established business modelling framework (the business model canvas), means that you'll receive a clear, and easy to communicate, description of your business.

The business model enables you to inform other aspects of business planning and strategy including your financial business plan,  budgets, cashflow forecasts and investment planning.
