I discovered this lecture from Fredzimny regarding business models beyond profit. The presentation presents a clear framework of the nine building blocks for building a social enterprise:
1. Customer Segments
2. Value Proposition
3. Distribution Channels
4. Customer Relationships
5. Revenue Streams
6. Key Resources
7. Key Activities
8. Key Partners
9. Cost Structure
If you are a current or aspiring social entrepreneur, I recommend taking a few minutes applying the model to your enterprise.
