Must read innovation stories of the week: Mental models determine business models
Much like humans have mental models that determine their beliefs about how the world works, businesses have business models that do the same. And just how us humans get stuck in our own thoughts if we don’t feed ourselves new experiences, business models become irrelevant when they don’t evolve.
Your business model will only change if you adopt different perspectives and this means you have to start with the culture in your organization and how they view the world. You need to work on the questioning assumptions your culture has about how the world works so it can start thinking about how it can work better for you.
IInputs determine outputs. Want a new business model? Check your mental model first.
