Why
New ideas that emerge from the Invention phase are little more than wishes turned into conceptual statements that people can react to. In the realm of new products, new services and new business ventures, successful innovation requires a skill for turning those ideas into viable business propositions, in both business-to-business and business-to-consumer environments. This requires an understanding of what it takes to make a new business proposition real: How will it work? Where are the holes in what we do now? What will need to change in order for us to do it? Business Model Mapping is one of the first Incubation steps for understanding the requirements and key value chain decisions that will be needed to run a creative idea into a successful reality.
