Oprichter Amsterdam International Fashion Week en partner bij Fronteer Strategy wint ondernemersprijs
James Veenhoff winnaar IJ-prijs 2009
De jury van de IJ-prijs heeft vandaag bekend gemaakt dat de IJ-prijs 2009 gaat naar James Veenhoff. Veenhoff was jarenlang als directeur en medeoprichter de drijvende kracht achter de tweejaarlijkse Amsterdam International Fashion Week (AIFW). Veenhoff is nog steeds als bestuurslid verbonden aan de Amsterdamse modeweek. Volgens de jury heeft Amsterdam, dankzij de inzet van James Veenhoff, een internationale reputatie opgebouwd als modestad. De IJ-prijs is een initiatief van PricewaterhouseCoopers en de Gemeente Amsterdam en wordt jaarlijks toegekend aan een persoon die een duidelijke bijdrage levert aan de promotie en de economische ontwikkeling van Amsterdam.

Here comes an inspiring story.
When researcher Alex Osterwalder was looking for a model for making business models, he could not find it. Or he could not find one he liked. None of them he found he could use across mutiple industries. So he decided to makes his own model together with a few other people. Enter Patrick. When Patrick van der Peijl found out about Alex’s project, he joined in and suggested to set up a community to make the book and model even stronger. The Hub was born.
What was so inspiring? When coming up with the idea to co-create abook on business modeling, they invented a new businss model with it. It was done before, but not with people actually paying for contributing. 400 People paid an average of 50 euros for being part of it, being able to suggest content, get the book first and be mentioned in the book. I thought it was a great examples of our 5 guiding principles of co-creation and presented my toughts on the official launch of the beta version of the book a few weeks ago in Amsterdam. 60 People showed up for a very well organised and inspiring day. The drawing is our model summarised by Paul den Dulk. The book launches later this year.
Anyone else with a new co-creation business model that works?

WHAT MAKES A CITY SUCCESSFUL?
Amsterdam Topstad is an ambitious project initiated by alderman Lodewijk Asscher, to mobilise entrepreneurs and individuals into a movement to get Amsterdam in the Top 5 lists of most popular, succesful, habitable, etc, etc cities of the world. The Topstad team organise regular ‘inspiration & network’ meetings to keep the fires burning.
Yesterday’s session (charmingly organised at a former pathology lab) focused on consequences of ‘The Crisis’ and what it means in terms of challenges and opportunities for Amsterdam. Guest lecturer was none less than Tyler Brulee, founder of our Wallpaper and Monocle (our favourit magazine of the moment) - arguably one of the world’s most inspiring lights on the topics of ‘How to make urban living as rich as possible’.
