7C Model

with 8 comments

When I was doing my PGDM at IIM-I, I had taken one course known as IT Enabled Marketing (ITEM). The crux of that course was a simple model known as the 7C model. The point I am rekindling this knowledge is because I aim to use it in real life business for a change. The theory that was taught two years back is finally going through chrysalis and culminating (in what I hope) to reality. Any web portal should have as many of the 7C’s as possible, they would be -

  1. Context
  2. Content
  3. Community
  4. Customization
  5. Communication
  6. Connection
  7. Commerce

The latest web portal that I was working on had just 4C’s … we are currently working on the 5th one. Will keep you posted on this.

    On a similar note, have you heard about the “The 5 Why” model?

    Nothing funny about it. Its a Toyota Way principle. Every time there is a symptom, ask “Why” at least 5 times. The first cause normally leads to a bandage solution rather than a long term solution.
