@amazon doesn't manage 30 business models.
They manage 5 portfolios across 7 lifecycle phases.
Most companies can't even name their second business model.
Here's what they're missing 🧵
You don't need Amazon's scale to use this approach.
You just need to know:
→ What you have
→ Where it sits in the lifecycle
→ How to manage it consciously
Three questions for you 👇
Which of your business models finance the rest?
Which are growing into your next core?
Which moonshots are you actually testing?
Reply with your answer or 🤔 if you're not sure.

Someone asked us last week:
"Why do you keep talking about design thinking? Isn't this about AI?"
Fair question. Here's why it matters 🧵
This is what design thinking does: It forces you to understand the problem before jumping to solutions.
Same methodology behind the Business Model Canvas. Same process we've used for 15 years.
Works just as well for AI.

@amazon runs 30+ business models simultaneously. Most companies fail with just one.
Here's how @JeffBezos made it work (and what it means for your portfolio strategy) 🧵👇
The questions worth asking:
→ Which business models actually make money?
→ Which show potential but need investment?
→ Which could change your business in 5 years?
→ Are you balanced between today and tomorrow?
Can't answer these?
Then you probably don't have a portfolio strategy. You have a bunch of initiatives and some hope.
