Structure and creativity: How we gamestormed our business model together. At the close of a frantic first quarter and the verge of the roller-coaster ride Q2 will be, I’d like to tell the tale of how – months ago – we gamestormed our business model together.
Business model generation is a tough job, but it can be productive fun. What we now know as Inspired by Coffee was born on a table amidst post-its, markers, coffee cups and two great books… Nowadays it seems more important to be disruptive than to have a business model. We – old-fashionably – decided to start the other way around, with Alexander Osterwalder’s Business Model Canvas. And although it’s a great tool, the book’s a bit dull to puzzle something unique together. Gamestorming techniques are games to do successful brainstorming.
What is great about the combination of the canvas and gamestorming, in my opinion, is that while the canvas helps you to structure all the questions that need answering to build a sustainable business, gamestorming helps you to come up with creative and uncommon answers.

Museum Strategy: Upcoming Glam-Wiki and Rencontres Wikimedia on Arts and Shared Knowledge. Dear All, Here is a post to inform you of two conferences that will take place at the end of November and beginning of December, one in London , one in Paris .
Both are organised by the Wikimedia Foundation in partnership with arts institutions who will be presenting and discussing their experiences on knowledge sharing and partnerships with Wikimedia in that regard. Behind the Wikimedia Foundation are Wikipedia as well as most notable wiki-something projects that have developped and made popular the idea and practice of sharing information freely, and making knowledge and culture an experience that is done in common, valuing everyone's voice. Discussing how institutions envision their strategies in that matter goes further than a mere internal/external policy issue, it tackles subjects such as the digital divide, how one sees information in our societies and the part visitors should take in the museum experience.
So let's discuss. Social media/Web Guidelines and Strategy Worksheets.
