Use Case: Tech Company
A Nordic Tech company knew they were facing a business model crunch. Growing rapidly around their core business model of technology consulting, they were facing obvious business model constraints on scalability, valuation drivers, and exit scenarios. Simply stated, they were too much of a body shop, growing their firm by recruiting at one end, and hiring out talent at the other end.
Looking for a new strategic framework, the founders came across the Three Levels of Business Models. This made intuitive strategic sense to them, as they started experimenting with early ideas on potential future business models. Over the coming weeks, the founders fully grasped the structure and power of the strategy tool, using this to build a large portfolio of potential bets.
In the following months, testing out these small bets with real-life clients, two software models bore fruit, allowing the company to develop two significant, very scalable business models.
18 months later, the revenue potential and scalability of the software-driven business models, drove a significantly higher valuation as the early investors took an exit in the company to a large industrial buyer.
