Evaluating your Business Model Ecosystems Innovation isn’t easy. Fortunately there are a lot of tools available for accomplishing this task. Unfortunately the available tools are often fragmented and emphasize different components of the business ecosystem, and so do not provide an adequate evaluation of how your Business Model compares to competitors. Best practices for developing your business model and efforts to support innovation change over time.

The Diversity Innovation Plan Generator (password access is provided to these online tools) includes four stages.

The Diversity Innovation Plan & Learning Management Framework help evaluate your business model (in specific areas) and includes tools and frameworks to help introduce improvements (where needed), and an opportunity to actually draft your Diversity innovation plan (and download) for the designated business area(s).
