The patterns
Sustainable Business Model Design presents 45 business model solutions to ecological, social, and economic challenges. These 45 patterns help managers and entrepreneurs to develop new businesses that create sustainable value.
Three examples:
1. Customer Financing
When potential customers cannot afford or do not want to purchase a new, uncommon, or radically different offering, the Customer Financing pattern can help. Leasing, renting, or progressive purchasing schemes can be a door opener for sustainable offerings.
2. Green Razor and Blade
Most companies still depend on growth – but how to avoid similarly growing negative impacts on the environment? The Green Razor and Blade pattern unbundles long-living products and short-lived consumables and thus allows mitigating the negative effects of growing businesses.
3. Social Freemium
Ecologically and socially superior offerings often face a lack of demand. Limited purchasing power of target groups or competitors’ lower prices can lead to critical market barriers. The Social Freemium pattern helps in overcoming these barriers with free basic offerings.
