BUSINESS MODEL INNOVATION

CAS-HSG - CERTIFICATE OF ADVANCED STUDIES

BUSINESS MODEL INNOVATION

WELCOME

There are many companies with excellent technological products. In particular Europe is characterized by companies with sophisticated product innovation and process innovation ability. Why did many of these firms that had been well known for their products for many years suddenly lose their competitive edge? Within a short period of time strong companies such as AEG, Grundig, Nixdorf Computers, Triumph, Brockhaus, Agfa, Kodak, Quelle and Schlecker disappeared. What did they do wrong? The answer although painful, is simple. These firms failed to adjust their business model to a changing external environment.

In today’s business the ability to develop innovative business models is an essential condition to maintain long-term competiveness. In a more and more dynamic and complex market environment it is not sufficient anymore to build on innovation mechanisms that are limited to products and processes. The innovation of business models is the key element to transform innovative products into unique customer value.

However, in Europe there are still only a few companies such as Hilti, Holcim or Nestlé that addressed this perspective and successfully innovated their business model. Most inspiring examples are still located in the US, in the Silicon Valley. Amazon, Google, Apple, all of them continuously overcome established industry borders applying new business models.

In this Business Model Innovation Certificate Program (BMI-CAS) leading experts from

University of St. Gallen, Stanford University and

accomplished practitioners teach you the necessary knowledge and tools to systematically innovate your business model. In four different modules that take place here on the executive campus of St. Gallen University as well as in the Silicon Valley and on site in your company you learn how to break through the dominant industry logic and how to rapidly design innovative business model prototypes.

Two well established methodologies represent a key role in doing so: The Business Model Navigator™

and Design Thinking. The Business Model Navigator, a concept developed in St. Gallen at the Institute of Technology Management, has successfully been applied for the creation of new business models at companies like Bosch, Hilti, SAP, ABB, Sennheiser and PWC, but also in several European startups. The concept of Design Thinking, a human-centered approach targeting the rapid design and testing of innovation prototypes will be taught by one of its pioneers, Prof. Dr. Larry Leifer from Stanford University.

Additionally gained first-hand insights on innovation by

Google, Apple and Tesla during excursions in Silicon Valley and a Design Thinking & Leadership workshop contribute to a learning experience that is unique in executive education.
