![]() Greg O'Connor - ArticlesGreg O’Connor is Managing Director of Wingarra BMI – www.wingarrabmi.com - a specialist business consultancy which works with clients to road-test alternative business models, and to optimise those found to be most profitable. Its specialty is in identifying and mapping all variables likely to impact upon the financial performance of a new project or business or business unit, and in designing and constructing robust and customised technical/financial models which allow all combinations of these variables to be fully tested.
The Global Credit Crisis – Time for Business to Revisit Budgets and Cashflow ProjectionsThe global credit crisis is as serious as anything seen since the Great Depression. Although years in the making, its effects have manifested themselves with startling rapidity. Much is yet to be played out, but it is already clear that many business models which have found favour over the past decade are dead and buried. Almost all businesses are going to have to take stock, and quickly, of the implications for them of the credit freeze which has now gripped international financial markets. The Role of Financial Modelling in Business Model AnalysisMany business owners and managers looking to start a new business unit or project spend a considerable amount of time creating a detailed narrative. This is appropriate as the story needs to make sense. Too few, however, then embark upon a rigorous financial analysis of the proposed new business model in order to fully test likely performance across the full range of variables which will impact upon performance. This is a major oversight. Business Model InnovationMost business owners and managers are familiar with the concepts of the business model and innovation. Many, however, have little appreciation of the emerging focus on innovation in the business model itself. They need to get up to speed.
