The world never sleeps
This proves it!
This is a picture of the air traffic around the globe in a 24 hour period. Old, but still impressive. If anything, there will only be more planes in the sky. Each yellow dot is an airplane.
Being the proud South African, the significant air traffic in Sub Saharan Africa is very heartening to see.
Business Models and Osterwalder
Who ever thought Business Models would be this much fun!
A smart fellow with the name of Alex Osterwalder came up with a very interesting way of modeling a business. Essentially you analyse your business, stakeholders, distribution channels and then plot the information on a template such as:
Whilst doing research for a Business Fundamental assignment, I found the model below on the site businessmodelsinc.com. It is the same template as above, but with images instead of text. Imagine how much fun it could be working on your next model?
It is pretty straightforward and you discover a lot about the business you thought you knew like the back of your hand. I wish I had the art skills required to make mine as pretty as the Fifa one ;-)
I struggled to find a usable template and being the nice guy, will post a link to a Power Point template you can use**.

OK, now for that link: Making it easier.
Talking about FiFa, who do you think will win the World Cup? I think it is time for an underdog to raise the cup :-)
