Think about…
- Is your business model desirable to audiences, visitors and funders? How clear is your organisation about its core purpose and what it offers to audiences, visitors and other ‘customers’?
- Is your business model feasible? Do you have the essential skills and resources (people, buildings, technology, systems etc.) needed internally to drive success? How easily can you free up or find resources to invest in new areas of activity (e.g. digital development, partnership working, fundraising)?
- Is your business model viable? Do enough people believe in what you’re doing to invest in it — to buy tickets, to give you grant income, to donate, to sponsor etc. — to make it stack up financially?
