Business Model Canvas: facilità di comunicazione col cliente
Tra i vari problemi che ci si trova spesso a dover affrontare, per chi si occupa di Business Model vi è quello di rappresentare in modo semplice e chiaro il modello su cui poi lavorare, fare considerazioni e valutare le relazioni tra tutti gli elementi che compongono il business stesso.
In un recente lavoro ci siamo imbattuti nell'esigenza di un nostro cliente di aprire una vetrina con dei servizi su internet per i fruitori del noto social network twitter. L'idea si componeva di alcuni semplici servizi, alcuni free altri a pagamento, e si può dire a ragion veduta che ricalcasse il business model di molti altri operatori già attivi sul mercato.
La fase dell'intervista al cliente ha prodotto il classico documento descrittivo e prolisso, da cui poi si estrapolano le esigenze, i bisogni e gli obiettivi verso cui accompagnare il cliente stesso.
A risultare evidente però vi era l'incapacità (in senso buono) del cliente di trattare il business come un elemento unico... sembrava piuttosto che nella sua testa fosse composto da più porzioni che di tanto in tanto dialogavano e interagivano fra loro.
Operare come business analyst comprende tra i suoi doveri quello di addestrare i propri clienti ad utilizzare strumenti a loro meno noti, ma che noi abbiamo collaudato efficaciemente nei passati lavori che ci sono stati commissionati.
Nel caso specifico al di là del business plan che sicuramente aveva prodotto autonomamente, l'ho fatto approciare verso il business model canvas.
Inizialmente la reticenza porta a considerare inutile la rappresentazione grafica del proprio business su un cartellone poichè lo si ritiene "già pronto", una volta che però si è realizzato il primo modello i vantaggi che una simile rappresentazione portano sono indicutibili. Infatti si possono visualizzare le possibili implementazioni future, e se viene abbinato ad una seria analisi di tipo PEST e ad una SWOT... allora è il massimo per poter in seguito estendere e migliorare il business stesso!
Se non altro perchè si ha subito sott'occhio l'intero business nella sua interezza senza la necessità di dover sfogliare avanti e indietro documenti ricchi di parole....
Va detto per onestà che il documento non va in ogni caso tralasciato: ogni strumento va bene per certi lavori ma non per altri, perciò l'intervista descrittiva fissa in modo chiaro (senza elementi sottointesi) i tratti dell'argomento trattato. Purtroppo è solo poco immediata da guardare: il canvas, essendo visuale invece va benissimo per le fasi dove provare a migliorare, ad arricchire, a studiare il business.
Per ovvi motivi qui non inseriremo una versione del modello che abbiamo disegnato per rappresentare il nuovo business del nostro cliente.
Vedere l'idea nel suo complesso ha permesso a noi di consigliare subito un implementazione del servizio che altro non era se non l'interazione di alcune componenti che già vi erano presenti: bastava solo capire che potevano lavorare a braccetto.
In sostanza, l'idea già c'era ma era nascosta: non era stata vista dal cliente, che grazie al canvas ha potuto comprenderne i tratti e valutarne l'efficacia...
A parte il beneficio tratto dal cliente, per noi vi sono stati indubbi miglioramenti: in un unico foglio vediamo proiezioni sulla mole di traffico e utenti dei servizi (stimate dal cliente), vediamo tutti i servizi come strumenti di un unico coltelletto svizzero, e infine quali sono le relazioni che il cliente si prefigge di instaurare coi suoi utenti...
Una serie di semplici sketch, idee e riflessioni sul mondo del business, del BPM e del Project Management. Il tutto in modo trasparente poichè non vi sono sponsor o brand di cui siamo fornitori. Business and Process are the main things!

Tip for a good #BPM: help your team to understand the project from a process perspective.
#CIO : It's important you don't attempt #BPM system without mapping process flows.
Work Token is an open source #BPMN 2 engine for #Java programmers who need to develop business processes based on BPMN 2 specifications.
Is convenient to use pre-configured #Business Model in the sw of small businesses?

First days of the #BPM 2012 race! New challenges and new projects: I wish a good start for everyone.

@MishaScholte There are also people who do not like public speaking, or those lengthy. Unfortunately, we must also keep in mind these.
@MishaScholte This is a risk. But a social environment includes tools such as chat, webcams, etc ... and we can arrange a live weekly scrum.
@MishaScholte Less time wasted! So less money is spent unnecessarily!!! I hate the time cost of daily scrum :)
@MishaScholte You can learn about the situation in real time. In every moment to ask how to proceed, and if there are hitches.
@MishaScholte ....(like a social network), where voice your concerns, obtain information on job status, ask for help, etc ... like twitter.
@MishaScholte Instead of the daily scrum, every day at work the stakeholders using a collaborative environment ...
@MishaScholte I imagine a Scrum PM framework, complete with ScrumMaster, ProductOwner, Team, all types of meetings except the daily scrum.
@MishaScholte for example think the power of social bpm instead of daily scrum, into a scrum metodology. ;)
@MishaScholte ok, but it's dangerous and expensive 2 stand-up for daily SAL. I prefer social environment: it's possibile real-time check.
IMHO : max 10 people team for a good daily #SCRUM. 5 minutes for 10 people = 50 minute daily SCRUM. What do you think?
Is #PEST analysis sufficient for IT business? Or is it better to use #SLEPT? #STEEPLE(D)?
In a big project the daily #SCRUM it's dangerous. The risk : to put a lot of hour in waste... Too many speakers, to many interview, etc...
TimeMgmt: All activities use the time: the time is limited and shared resource.a project manager must always do time-management. #PMOT
TimeMgmt:time is limited(not infinite),is a good that runs without looking if you spend good,or if we use it according to our plans.#PMOT
Is #MoSCoW analysis (bpmgeek.com/blog/what-mosc…) useful for #SCRUM framework? I think so.
#SWOT: is it simple to do a good analysis? IMHO the tool is simple to use, but not to create. expertprogrammanagement.com/2010/07/swot-a…
#BPM: Modeling o Management? IMHO the folks speak about Modeling using the word Management.....
#BPM: reducing human task increases ROI. It 's always like this? I'm afraid it's true ...
#BPMN Choreography: necessary or is it more helpful to use the lanes? I prefer the lanes for the scalability needed during optimization.
#Bizagi wins 2 Gold Awards for excellence in #BPM:Middle East-Africa Region and the Pacific Rim Region.
#BPMN Conversation: I think they hide a part of the message flow; I find them useful only for broadcast messages.
Thought of the evening. Keeping BPM, Business Rules and Business Intelligence separated. SOA design through Saas? Only costs are benefited?
Business Intelligence and BPM: not only a monitoring process, even a good way to suggest decision for human\hand task.
Business Rules into BPM: typically not full-features. BPM and external BR:full BR functionality. The importance of a SOA architecture of BR.
Swimlane and Pool error: even the experts can make mistakes: Bruce explains it well in brsilver.com/2008/06/11/bpm… via @ bpmswatch.
