Paper

Using Service Logic Business Model Canvas in Lean Service Development

Ojasalo, J., Ojasalo, K.
Purpose. The purpose of this paper is to propose an approach for using Service Logic Business Model Canvas in the lean service development, and visa versa. So far, the literature on business logics for service or business models does not utilize the ideas of lean development. There is a clear knowledge gap in the intersections of the three research areas: business logics for service, business models, and lean development. The present article addresses this knowledge gap. Design/methodology/approach. The present conceptual paper is based on an extensive literature analysis on business logics for service, as well as business models, and lean development. Findings. The paper proposes a model of lean service development. It integrates the model in the process of using the Service Logic Business Model Canvas. Research limitations/implications. The paper shows how a new service is iteratively developed through several improvement rounds into a final business model, it shows the important role of rapid testing and learning in the iterative service development process, it supports the implementation of the fundamental philosophy of business logics for service in business development, and encourages using multiple service design methods in the service development, if needed. Practical implications. The ideas of lean or agile development have been used for a long time in software development. In addition, the ideas were later adopted in the business development of startups. Agile and lean development principles have dramatically changed the managerial thinking and practice in these areas. The present paper develops an application of these approaches to be used in service development, business model development, and implementation of business logics for service in practice. Originality/value. This paper contributes by (1) developing and introducing the lean service development model, and by (2) integrating it to the process model of using Service Logic Business Model Canvas
