Stakeholders
IncIncHQHQ
Your OrganizationThis is where your business model starts to get shape. Place this block in the center and build your model around it.
Stakeholders

Other CompaniesThe second most important block is the company. In most models this will be the actor that offers a product or service.
Stakeholders

SuppliersThis icon can also be used for service suppliers like web or marketing agencies.
Stakeholders

ConsumersThe ones that receive your organization’s value proposition and give something in return. Use one block per customer segment.
Stakeholders

GovernmentSome business models have links to governmental institutions. Use this block if relevant.
Stakeholders

Non-profitIf unions or charity organizations are relevant you can add this player to the system.
Transfer Items

ProductThe first, most straightforward offer to clients is an actual product, ranging from basic commodities up to finished goods. A BMW car is one example, but today also digital products can be included.

ServiceOne way to upgrade your business model is to offer a service next to the product. BMW, in this case, not only sells cars but includes maintenance and other services around the product.

MoneyThe typical currency that clients pay with, is money – which is critical to company’s revenue models. The building blocks make a differentiation between two types of money. This icon represents the normal value of a good, including profit.

Less money ( Micro payments )This second icon represents money as well, but less than the normal amount covering cost and profit of what is offered. Usually this transaction implies that other revenue streams are added to the traditional business model.

ExposureActive exposure or attention is the next step in the evolution of currency. For some businesses the spreading of their ideas and brand values becomes more important than the immediate return in money. One example is a free newspaper that seeks for the attention of as many readers as possible to become more attractive to advertisers.

RightsOwnership rights, IP and even the right to emit CO2 are items that stakeholders can exchange between each other. This must be the most abstract block but it is necessary to illustrate the innovativeness of several models.

ReputationToday, the next upgrade to reputation can only be found in a few sectors. In these cases, ‘reputation’ selling can be described as the most essential brand experience.

CreditsVirtual credit systems are on the rise. Therefore we have to add them to the business model blocks as well. Loyalty cards and similar are also covered by this block.

ExperienceThe two concepts of product and service are commonly applied throughout our economy. In the last years, several companies have moved a step further by offering an experience to customers. BMW does not sell a car with a service in this case, but a driving experience.
