How to transform your business model for a post-COVID future

Author of Radical Business Model Transformation: How Leading Organizations Have Successfully Adapted to Disruption Carsten Linz argues that overhyping the technical digitalization of existing businesses, can make us complacent.

Leaders can pursue three opportunities:

(1) Transform into new business models – beyond today’s automation wins and efficiency gains

(2) Invest in strategic resilience by transforming to more inclusive models with comprehensive, integrated offerings with recurring transactions – like platforms and solutions

(3) Change the rules of the game in your sector and set yourself apart by fostering digital inclusiveness relative to your peers
