Expectations?

Industrial Design Student

“This business modeling assignment seems to be a wise thing to do for me being an Industrial Design Student. It might be wise for me being a designer to develop this competency area.”

Industrial Design Student

“I visited a workshop before on business models. It seems to be an interesting area. It is better to do this at an earlier stage in my studies. It is better for my designs.”

Industrial Design Student

“I am lacking in the Industrial Design competency area ‘Business Process Design’, so I need to be here. I never liked ‘business’. I am here because I need to be here.”

Industrial Design Student

“I am interesting in the combination between business and design. How to combine business with design. I would like to learn more about the business side of design.”

Industrial Design Student

“I have heard about this business modeling assignment. I am interested in seeing things from a different perspective. I red the description of the business modeling assignment and it immediately got my attention.”

Industrial Design Student

“I have never done anything with business before. This is the first time. I would like to learn how to integrate ‘Business Process Design’ into my projects.”

Industrial Design Student

“I am interested in working with different stakeholders. The business model canvas seems to be a good model for doing that. It seems to be a good basic structure to hold on to. I need that.”

Industrial Design Student

“I prefer to work with models instead of big chunks of text.”

Final report

Evaluation

Industrial Design Student

“This business model assignment made the combination between business and design clear. I learn how the business will look upon my product. I learned how to use business in design. Business modeling is very useful in the design process.”

Industrial Design Student

“This business model assignment was a first introduction to business. It is a good way to start an education. I will bring these insights with me in the rest of my education.”

Industrial Design Student

“I thought business modeling was a commercial process, but it is not. The commercial part of it is the selling aspect. Business modeling is a design process. I really enjoyed to hack the canvas every week!”

Industrial Design Student

“I learned a lot. I now know how to set up a business and a business model. I am curious about the rest!”

Industrial Design Student

“Since I started this business model assignment, I start to see business model canvases in all settings. There are business models everywhere!”

Industrial Design Student

“This assignment was a rollercoaster, with a clear stop at the end. I now see the light and I now can discover. I learned how business is created in the real world. I now look differently upon business.”

Industrial Design Student

“The tangible designs of the business model made it more clear. I now use the business model canvas to look differently on design.”

Industrial Design Student

“It is not only the business model canvas. It is also the process behind business modeling. To think about it. To present it. To keep improving it. To pitch it again. By working iteratively with the canvas, it became more clear along the way.”

Industrial Design Student

“I like the way we presented. How we were taught how to pitch our ideas in front of an audience.”

Industrial Design Student

“It is nice to see that everybody told a different story with the business model canvas.”

Industrial Design Student

“I learned a lot about enthusiasm. The enthusiasm that is needed to get an audience interested. It is not only about business. It is also about presenting and showcasing your ideas, and telling your story.”

Industrial Design Student

“I really enjoyed the positive attitude. How we during this assignment only got feedback on what we did very well. Our strengths were highlighted. You never brought forward the negative aspects of our work. We learned from the positive aspects, and from each other.”

Industrial Design Student

“Many teachers and coaches bring out the negative parts in our work and performance. It is never good enough. That is not productive. It is the good things that you have to move on with and to further develop.”

Industrial Design Student

“I learned that I do not have to do all of it. I need to focus on the part that I am good at. It is about going from being good to being great. This is a much better way of using your own qualities. The education system can learn a lot from this. And… I learned I had a skill I did not know! Presenting!”

Industrial Design Student

“The way we were taught to give feedback to each other was great. We saw the business model iterations and the tangible design develop every week and we could support each other along the way. We were taught to define what we liked in other people’s designs.”

Industrial Design Student

“We see a lot of different ways of presenting. It tells us that people work differently and that there are different ways to reach the same results. We saw diverse things and learned from all of it.”

Industrial Design Student

“This assignment was inspiring me. Normal business lectures are boring. Normally, there are professors talking and us students taking notes, trying to remember as much as possible. It is hard to understand. The message does not get across. It is dull and boring. This assignment was based on actu-alities. It was interactive. It was fun.”

Industrial Design Student

“We were kept motivated to enhance the deliverables every week. It was great to deepen our knowledge about one specific business case and to learn from it, step by step. The energy and enthusiasm stimulated us. I really enjoyed it.”

Industrial Design Student

“I really liked this assignment. Your enthusiasm. Everybody spent time on their homework. Your enthusiasm got me excited and made me work. We had the history part in all lectures. Then we had Camilla dancing, talking about business models.”

Industrial Design Student

“I forgot time and place when working on this assignment.”

Industrial Design Student

“Business Process Design is fun and interesting. The combination of business and design rocks!”
