In this module, we will dive deeper into the Odyssey 3.14 approach and framework, by exploring in detail the 3 components of the business model. 1) The value proposition, which defines your offer and how it is perceived by customers 2) The value architecture, which defines the way your company is organized to deliver your offer 3) The profit equation, which enables you to measure the efficiency of your business model and the relation between the value proposition and value architecture. Thinking deeply about these 3 components and seeing them through new lenses will help you find innovative solutions to create a more effective business model.
