Rethinking the Business Model
Your business model is more than just operations—it’s how your company functions, competes, and grows. At Vivaldi, we evaluate the core business, distribution channels, revenue streams, and customer value proposition to reimagine how your organization can succeed in changing conditions.
We don’t just theorize; we make your business model work in the real world, accounting for customer needs, cost structure, and long-term value.
Exploring New Business Models
The most successful transformations often start with new business models. Vivaldi helps leaders explore models that break free from the status quo, such as:
- Subscription services (e.g., the shift from DVD rental service to streaming service)
- Platform-based ecosystems
- Outcome-based pricing
These new models address changing customer demands and create new revenue streams while keeping the existing business model aligned to the core business.

- Increased customer value and retention
- Entry into new markets and market share growth
- Improved profit formula and cost structure
We build capabilities to rapidly test and refine new models as part of an ongoing process.
