Key Partners
The network of suppliers and partners that makes the business model work.
A manager's field guide to KPIs, Performance Assessment contrasts, and Trend forces across the nine blocks of the BMC — canonical Strategyzer instruments at your elbow.
Use this reference at quarterly reviews, when you rescore the three Strategyzer instruments for each block — the Business Model Performance Assessment (trailing-period strengths and weaknesses), the Assessment Questions for Leaders (structural design-strength archetypes), and the Business Model Trend Assessment (forward-looking external forces). Together these three scores inform the business model's current-state and target-state position on the Exploit portfolio map.
Click any of the nine BMC blocks to open a detailed brief. Each brief contains the block's definition, the Performance Assessment question that scores it on the −3/+3 scale, its canonical KPIs with roles, and the Trend Assessment forces that can move its future position.
KPI roles: Primary driver drives the Performance score deterministically. Diagnostic reveals where movement is coming from. Supporting triangulates underlying health. External data requires competitive benchmarking.
