Focus on designing multiple business model canvas's with intelligent constraints:

- scale, a big hairy audicious goal;

- cost, like delivering it under x price employing frugal thinking; 

- risk, increase partnerships;

- simplicity, doing only thing

- impact, not just action.

We then move onto defining and testing hypotheses around revenue streams, cost structure, key partners, key resources, channels

 

We design 1 pilot, with impact measurement at it's heart, which then defines the development of a minimum viable product. 

We use customer development and an adapted Business Model Canvas to develop hypotheses, and get out of the building, to iterate on: 

- defining our understanding and articulation of the problem (through 5 why process, understanding differences providing painkillers or vitamins, design thinking)

- customer proposition, customer segments
