    What People Are Saying

    Why we work
    with the Business Model Canvas

    It is impossible today to talk about innovation or transformation without highlighting the integrated nature of the key building blocks, including strategy, ecosystem and Business Models; culture, engagement and experience; process and structure; technology and data; and Value Proposition and Value Chain

    At the same time, many people think that digitalization is limited to technology, design or processes. This is not the case. In fact, we have to consider and understand digitalization as a holistic effort. 

    HOW IT WORKS

    The diagram contains the key dimensions of any larger digitalization effort. If you undertake a larger innovation or transformation initiative, these are the items you should be considering, and which you will have to work on sooner or later.

    The UNITE building blocks of digitalization also help you assess where you stand: have you considered all building blocks? Did you cover everything you have to? You can almost use the tool as a high-level health check, covering each area in order to understand how far you have gotten in your strategy, planning, execution, and change-management.

    What is the goal of the model?

    True digitalization is a systemic endeavor. While the digitization of analogue information and processes is a crucial first step to digitalizing an organization, it takes a paradigm shift to fully understand the total landscape of digitalization.
