UNDERSTANDING BUSINESS MODELS
In this session you will hear from Anna Dinnen and learn all about different types of business models and what they might consist of. You will discuss what makes companies distinct in their offers, the characteristics of different company offers, customer characteristics and more.
You will be unpacking the models of different businesses such as:
- Suited and Booted – a London based charity who provide smart clothes for interview to men referred to them by public agencies
- Warts and All Theatre – an arts organisation based in Northampton which provides theatre performance and production opportunities to young people. Please look particularly at the YOUNG ACTORS programme (any location) and what they say about the ‘pay-on-your-terms’ model.
- Zoom – the video-conferencing platform
