Plan versus Model
No Business Plan survives first
    contact with customers
So Search for a Business Model
The Search for a Business Model



       •  A Business Plan is static

       • A Business Model diagrams how a company
         creates, delivers and captures value – it’s
         dynamic

       •  Or in English: How a company makes money
