Overview

While the business model canvas typically has been used by startups, intelligence practitioners can use the business model canvas approach in conjunction with CI tools to help organizations of all types to understand which components of their business model are at risk. Through helping stakeholders apply intelligence in a broader business context, intelligence practitioners can better articulate the value of their function. Every intelligence leader should think of their group as a business within the business; consequently, their business model should reflect their desired priorities, capabilities and outcomes.
