I had a great discussion this morning at Roundhouse Radio as part of their Business In Vancouver show.

The discussions focused on innovative and alternative methodologies on building business models. It also looked a bit at what LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® is and how it can help businesses whether they be in the clean-tech space or otherwise.

I found it interesting that there is a discussion about alternative business models or questioning if it is dead. Perhaps I misunderstood the terminology.

I understand the term business model as a construct that describes what we do as a business, who cares about our products and/or services, and why. From there we describe cost structures and revenue streams. As such, it is far from dead. It is quite an essential construct in building a successful enterprise.

What I do agree that is changing is how we go about filling in and building these business models … after all, we do want to have a vibrant and thriving entrepreneurial community in Vancouver.

Some key resources I mentioned during the discussions for new entrepreneurs:

1. Small business BC
2. Vancouver Public Library Business Section
