The Lens: Business Modelling and Value Proposition workshop impact
This Open Badge is for The Lens finalists and acknowledges what the applicant has learnt during the Business Modelling and Value Proposition workshop, how they have used this learning and how this has had an impact on their development.
The skills and knowledge developed through The Lens workshops are as much about preparing the applicant and their idea for The Lens final, as they are about developing the applicant to use their new skills and knowledge elsewhere in their work. Thinking about what’s needed to deliver impact, how it will reach people, who will help, what the key activities are, and how it will be sustained are all important factors when developing an idea. The tools used during the Business Modelling and Value Proposition workshop help do just that. This Open Badge is for The Lens finalists and acknowledges what the applicant has learnt during the Business Modelling and Value Proposition workshop, how they have used this learning and how this has had an impact on their development.
The Lens is an innovative programme designed to encourage people to see and think differently. It helps create a culture of intrapreneurship and innovation within mission-driven organisations by supporting people to develop their ideas and skills.
To acknowledge the skills that have been developed through The Lens, the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) in partnership with The Lens, along with support from the Social Enterprise Academy, have created a series of badges that are available to people who have been involved with The Lens.
To earn this badge you will need to:
- submit your Action Plan that you completed during the workshop, or evidence of another workshop exercise
- submit a reflective account about what you learnt at the Business Modelling and Value Proposition workshop, how you have used this learning and how this has had an impact on your development.

Please provide a written statement or link to an audio or video recording showing how what you’ve learned from the Business modelling and value proposition workshop, how you have used this learning and the impact it has had on your development.
If you’d like some guidance on how to explain what you’ve learned you might find our guide to preparing and publishing your evidence useful.
There’s no limit to the number of words you can use in your statement although we would suggest a minimum of 200 words will allow you to reflect your learning effectively.
