Biasca's
Business Transformation Model
A unique, holistic, international, interdisciplinary approach with a practical guide to transforming business.
Context changes have been sudden, unexpected, and unsettling in an uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world, creating challenges and opportunities for business.
The model proposes rethinking business transformation again to renew the organization and sustainably improve its competitiveness. It makes unique contributions to the field of business management. The approach is helpful for leaders and managers. Researchers and scholars will find it is based on sound theory and the author's practical experience.
The "Biasca's Transformation Model"
A transformative change framework
A holistic, interdisciplinary, flexible approach is proposed, considering the perspectives of 18 disciplines. A practical roadmap uses a medical analogy to facilitate comprehension: analysis (diagnosis and prognosis), innovation (prescription), execution (therapy), and consolidation (preventive medicine). It integrates previous knowledge, is “fad-proof,” and can be applied to organizations of various sizes in different industries and countries.
Over the last decades, the approach has been explained in books and courses in different countries. It began to be called "Biasca's Model" and has had thousands of citations by other authors. It has been refined by applying it to practical cases and practitioners' feedback. It has been updated continuously, incorporating research and the work of other transformation experts.
1. Competitive Gap. A guide allows the reader to distinguish between competitive positions. It indicates how profound the competitive gap is, how much time is available, what resources are needed, what restrictions exist, and what the main problems are to solve.
2. Innovation Formula. One hundred essential ideas are classified, and a general transformation formula is derived. A different formula is shown for each competitive position. Numerous examples include digital transformation, M&As, family businesses, small enterprises, non-profit organizations, higher education, and government agencies.
3. Execution Process. An action plan divided into seven phases with 30 steps is recommended. The implementation depends on the competitive position. Much thought, experience, and research went into that list of steps oriented to practitioners.
4. Consolidation and Continuous Renewal. Once implemented, a transformation is not always embedded in the organization, and a continuous improvement program could be helpful. As the environment changes, the company must adapt and renew.
