In Short
The problem is, as mentioned above, our economy is moving towards a circular and sharing economy. Therefore, our offer must be adapted to this paradigm shift.
Today, we will learn about how we can go about this business model innovation.
1. Step Into Digital Economy
By stepping away from the analog economy of things to the digital economy, you have much more flexibility to innovate your value creation processes.

3. Big Shift In Power
The circular and sharing economies aim to maximize the individual with higher product utilization and longer product lifetime, this means that there will be fewer products to sell!
The question of a business developer is, “how can we benefit from customer success?”
The answers could be the following offers and changes:
- internal specification customization
- capitalize complementing services
- introduce new business area
- transform to digital business model
One of the promising business models is a subscription model. It shifts the focus of business from the functionality of the offer to provide an economical solution to an individual customer.
Conclusion
Innovating a business model is a must for every company to adapt to a new economy of sharing. I have been told that 5 years from now, a new business that does not adopt a sustainable model will not get funded by the banks or any investors. Make sense!
Now aim to offer individualized solutions starting by innovating each of your business models!
