Business Models: Six recommendations to enable business model innovation in t...melnorman
Advances in technology have disrupted the creative marketplace. What customers value and will pay for has changed and companies who don’t evaluate their existing business models risk losing their relevance.
There is a lot of discussion around reinventing ‘business models’ and ‘strategy’ but there is a lack of clarity about what this means and even less about how to apply it.
So how does this impact the creative industries, which have undergone more change than most sectors over the last 10 years?
The part time Business Model Theme Champion role, funded by and on behalf of the Creative Industries KTN, focused on transferring current business model practice to the creative industries, using that to shape and inform business model innovation and examine how businesses can better articulate new and emergent business models.
This document is not meant as a scientific document or academic paper but a combination of a summary of my learnings from both my year’s tenure, as well as the thoughts and experiences from those who kindly attended workshops and roundtables or were consulted as experts or as leading companies in their field. My intention is to start a conversation around business model innovation in the creative and digital sectors and for the recommendations to be explored further.
On March 30, the Corporate Learning Network held its long awaited Drucker Master Class Day – led by celebrated Drucker management guru, Dr. Bernard Jaworski, Professor at the Peter F. Drucker and professor at the Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of management.

People and Innovation: Getting Ideas on the tableScott Smith
These days, everyone can attest to the importance of being innovative. In a knowledge economy where small insights can quickly shift the competitive landscape and capabilities can rapidly be bought, borrowed or built, we believe that those leaders who oversee a dynamic, fastmoving, innovation portfolio will have the best chance of breaking away from the pack and generating growth. But many organizations are finding it difficult to engage their people – from their employees to their customers to their suppliers – in the innovation process. If this is the case, then where do they start?

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

2. DESIGN
AND PRODUCTION PROBLEMS
SHOULD BE WORKED OUT OFFLINE, IN A LAB SETTING WITHOUT
CUSTOMERS, BEFORE THE SERVICE
DELIVERY IS TESTED IN A LIVE
ENVIRONMENT. —STEFAN THOMKE
3. The case study describes how Bank of America is
creating a system for product and service innovation in
its retail banking business. Emphasis is placed on the
role of experimentation in some two-dozen real-life
"laboratories" that serve as fully operating banking
branches and as sites for testing new ideas and
concepts. Focuses on:
1) How learning from experimentation can be
maximized;
2) Incentive and reward systems that motivate
employees to experiment in "life" environments;
3) The challenges of managing innovation in an
industry that eschews risks, failure, and change.
4. Organization
Until relatively recently, Bank
of America had never made innovation a
priority. It lacked
any formal infrastructure for developing
new ideas. However, recognizing several
years ago that it needed to improve its
innovation performance, the bank decided
to create a new corporate unit called the
innovation and development (I&D) team
5. Culture
Core values of Bank of America:
• Doing the right thing. Each of us has the freedom, authority, and responsibility
to do the right thing for clients, customers, communities — and each other.
• Trusting and teamwork. Comapny rely on each other and succeed together.
They take collective responsibility for the quality of client and customer
experiences.
• Inclusive meritocracy. They care about each other, focus on results and strive
to help all associates develop their full potential. We respect and value each
other's differences.
• Winning. They have a passion for achieving results and winning — for our
clients and customers, for our teammates and communities and for our
shareholders.
• Leadership. They're decisive leaders at every level, communicating our vision
and taking action to help build a better future.
Management
To run the processes effectively Lewis (CEO )was to consult several outside
executives what they considered to be “best management practice”

Within all I&D branches the customers were monitored closely to see
their reactions to the innovations by a variety of means like surveys
or statistics on such factors as revenue growth or number of services
used by each customer.
Shorter turnaround time for feedback would held experimenters learn
and prepare modified experiments more rapidly.
Despite the great success of the I&D Team, Amy Brady and Warren
Butler want to enlarge the learning through experimentation. So in
particular,the need for failure so as to generate more learning.
But: Butler commented, “(…). If we have too many failures, we just
won´t be accepted. Currently, we may have failure within
concepts, but not failure in concepts.”
