Blueprint Modelling allows to articulate a vision and understand how a business will operate. It allows to display all the activities that will make the business run by dividing them 3 main phases:
- client engagement phase (it's the phase in which entrepreneurs identify their clients and find the appropriate way to persuade them to buy their product and service)
- design/construction phase (it's the phase in which the product or service will be developed)
- delivery phase (it's the phase in which the product or service will be delivered to customers).
Each phase is also divided in 2 part: Frontstage (which shows all the activities that involve the consumer) and Backstage (which shows activities run by the service or product provider). The development of a Blueprint Model start with the Now and New Now exercise and leads to a CashFlow.
I designed this tool based on the one available in the Nesta Creative Enterprise Toolkit. I modified the layout and some labels in order to make it easier to be understood by the users. The improvement are based on my personal experience in using the tool.
