"An easy-to-follow framework that will help you not only unpack and understand any consumer trend, but also help you apply it to launch successful consumer-facing innovations of your own."

A significant percentage of working-age Mexicans (PEA: economically active population) have no chance of finding a job as an employee, so it needs to develop the ability to use tools for self-employed or start a business. A useful tool is the Business Model Canvas, which allows a review sheet nine key concepts that has any business, and develop knowledge and actions that increase the likelihood that the company move forward.

Jeremiah Owyang, a partner at the Altimeter Group, has published a valuable presentation outlining the key traits characterizing sustainable business models in the near future.
The key takeaways include:
The market sees purposeful brands that stand for something specific
Local and personalized wins always over global
Crowds are becoming like companies - bypassing inefficient intermediaries
On-demand wins always over standardized offerings
Business models may need to be changed along the way
Partnering with your customers is the key to the future
Excellent trends analysis. Owyang is right on target with his future of business models identikit.
Great find by Robin Good and timely as we just had a session with Rita McGrath (author of the End of Competitive Advantage) emphasizing the impact of disruption and the need for a different mindset around resilience. This preso by Jeremiah Owyang gives some great tips for thinking about the types of shifts in business models we should be thinking about.
Slide 13 captures these shifts well:
1. Purpose (start with why) is key
2. Glocal wins - Global reach and mindset delivered locally (relationships)
3. Personalize everything possible
4. On-demand
5. People make and share - collaboration and co-creation with your customers
6. Empowered people
This is important for CPAs to understand as they advise and support their businesses (clients and employers). Business models are no longer stagnant or as Rita would say, sustainable over a long-term. Thus we need to be constantly re-examiming our competitive advantages.
