What you'll get
A clear business model strategy beyond product competition
Apply proven business model concepts to your own context in a hands-on format to compete beyond features and products.
A hard look at your current business model
Assess strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, including AI disruption. Reduce risk, double down on what works, and explore new options.
Clarity on how to increase enterprise value
Understand how your business model drives value and equity beyond products across revenue logic, cost structure, ecosystems, and strategic control points. For listed companies, SMBs, and new ventures.
AI disruption response
Assess where product-based competition breaks down and where AI and other disruptions require a business model response.
Business model portfolio decisions
Understand how to manage multiple business models at the same time. Make explicit choices across business models to allocate resources, manage risk, and build a long-term advantage.
Clear next moves to outcompete
You don’t leave with ideas. Define concrete strategic actions that move you beyond product competition and toward a defensible business model advantage.
What participants achieved
The Strategyzer masterclass gave me the tools and confidence to turn ideas into businesses with greater certainty and less money!

It's about returning with fresh ideas and immediate execution capacity to better help CEOs, management teams, and partners in their strategic company development.
Most companies compete on products. The ones that win in the long term compete on business models. This Masterclass gives you the tools to assess where your model is vulnerable, where it has leverage, and how to act on both.
This Masterclass helps you assess, improve, and reinvent your existing business model or design a competitive one from scratch.
Work on your own business, not case studies. Build business models with an advantage as a competitive edge. Diagnose where your model breaks, where it wins, and where new leverage can emerge.
Apply practical tools to assess (AI) disruption risk, design a stronger edge, and build a more resilient business model with clear next moves.
Tools and concepts you'll master
Business Model Canvas, Four Actions Framework (Kim & Mauborgne), Business Model Patterns, Revenue Resilience Framework (Michael Wilkens), Business Portfolio Map, Explore-Exploit Framework (ambidextrous organization).
Business models experiments you'll lead
The entire Experiment Library is based on where you are in your testing journey (customer discovery, product validation, business model acceleration).
Who is this for
This Masterclass is for individuals and teams who want to strengthen existing business models or design new ones.
It is designed for established organizations working with current businesses, as well as teams exploring new models from scratch.
It is especially relevant for leaders and teams in strategy, product, finance, R&D, and growth roles who want to compete beyond products and features.
We also welcome startup and new-venture teams, as well as coaches and consultants who support organizations with business-model strategy and renewal.
