As a professional conference organizer, we initially asked Soren to deliver a top level, executive education workshop to kickoff an event with over 300 C-Suite executives from the healthcare industry. The feedback was so outstanding we invited him back to lead a similar discussion at another event. Soren’s unique ability to tailor his message, facilitate collaboration, and push the thinking of senior executives, puts him in the top tier of speakers we work with.
Use Keynote Speaker, Soren Kaplan, to jump start your company’s business model innovation.
Soren Kaplan is the author of the bestselling and award winning books, Leapfrogging and The Invisible Advantage, an Affiliated Professor at the Center for Effective Organizations at USC’s Marshall School of Business, a contributing writer for FastCompany, and the Founder of InnovationPoint. He has presented to dozens of corporations, conferences, associations, universities, and nonprofits and is a widely recognized expert in business model innovation, business strategy, disruptive innovation, and organizational culture.
Soren Kaplan’s keynotes on the future of business model innovation focus on the strategies and steps for identifying, developing, and driving innovative business models that generate new revenue streams, create competitive differentiation, and add a step-change in value to the market. With a focus on future trends, he outlines the intersecting disruptive innovations and forces shaping new opportunities. Through well known and little-known examples from across industries, he outlines specific strategies that any organization – whether product or service focused – can apply to create game changing business models.
In his business model innovation keynotes, Soren brings to life the three essential components of all winning business models:
- Value – How do you add the most value to those you serve, your partners, and the world?
- Revenue – How do you create financial sustainability and derive the most value from your business model?
- Differentiation – How do you create the most differentiation in the market and set yourself apart from the competition?
Organizations that benefit most from Soren’s Business Model Innovation keynote presentations and executive development workshops are those facing commoditization and competition based on costs and pricing — and who, as a result, need a jump-start as they look for new ways to innovate services, develop solutions, create unique customer experiences, and establish ecosystems of strategic partners as they reinvent their business models.
