Alexander Osterwalder is a renowned author, speaker, training director, and advisor in all matters related to business model design and innovation, best known as the co-creator, with long-time collaborator Yves Pigneur, of the Business Model Canvas.
Osterwalder has established himself as a world leader in this field, based on a systematic and practical methodology for achieving business model innovation, rooted in the doctoral research on business model ontology he completed at the University of Lausanne under Pigneur’s supervision. Executives and entrepreneurs worldwide have already relied on Osterwalder’s approach to strengthen their strategy and achieve a competitive advantage through business model innovation. Among the organizations that have relied on Osterwalder’s ideas are multinational companies such as 3M, Ericsson, IBM, Telenor, Capgemini, Deloitte, Logica, Public Works and Government Services Canada, among others. Additionally, Dr. Osterwalder focuses on executive training in business model development and innovation, work he channels largely through Strategyzer, the consultancy he co-founded with Pigneur in 2010. He also helped create Arvetica, a consultancy based in Geneva specializing in private banking and wealth management advisory. In his career, he has worked for sectors such as technology, media, telecommunications, and retail. He is also the founder of The Constellation, a non-profit organization aimed at ending AIDS and malaria.
He has participated in conferences and workshops at universities such as Stanford, Berkeley, and HEC (Lausanne), where he obtained his Ph.D., bringing the same visual, hands-on approach that made the Business Model Canvas resonate with millions of practitioners worldwide.
Osterwalder explains how the Business Model Canvas helps companies design, visualize, and manage more effective business models focused on the value proposition, the same tool he introduced with Pigneur in their bestselling book Business Model Generation.
This conference focuses on how companies can create a continuous innovation culture to remain competitive in a constantly evolving market, the central argument of his book of the same name.
Osterwalder presents strategies to drive business growth through business model innovation, using examples of successful cases drawn from the corporate clients Strategyzer has advised over the past decade.
This talk highlights the importance of designing products and services that align with customer needs, using the Value Proposition Canvas as a central tool, the companion framework Osterwalder and Pigneur developed after the original Business Model Canvas.
