The day

This is how the package training runs. Made-to-order training is rearranged to fit your requests.

Draw a familiar company's business as a Bizgram in seven steps. When teams compare, the same company comes out differently. Then draw your own business, and where it is going.

An example diagram

A Bizgram places the people and companies in a business, and draws the things and money moving between them as arrows.

A Bizgram of Uber Eats drawn in the app

The example is Uber Eats: how food, payments and fees move between customers, restaurants and couriers, on one sheet.

What participants said

From post-training surveys, translated from Japanese.

I learned the purpose and level of detail of a diagram. I had been trying to express everything in one diagram, but I understood splitting it and keeping the level of detail even.
In-company workshop
  • Even where I thought I roughly understood, drawing it brought new discoveries, and a strange sense of "it's really well made".

    In-company workshop

  • It was good exercise in simplifying a complex business model to understand its essence.

    In-company workshop

  • Drawing it deepened my understanding not only of the money flow, but of what the product does and its effect on customers. I also found drawing diagrams fun.

    In-company workshop

  • Drawing it out lets you notice what you had missed, and it all becomes clear. I'm going to read the book.
