Business Model Canvas
Developed by Alexander Osterwalder, the Business Model Canvas is a strategic management template that maps nine building blocks of a business on a single page: Customer Segments, Value Propositions, Channels, Customer Relationships, Revenue Streams, Key Resources, Key Activities, Key Partners, and Cost Structure. It makes the entire business logic visible at once, enabling rapid iteration and strategic discussion.
Come eseguirlo
- 1
Display or distribute the BMC template — large enough for sticky notes.
- 2
Work through the nine blocks in this order: Customer Segments → Value Propositions → Channels → Customer Relationships → Revenue Streams → Key Resources → Key Activities → Key Partners → Cost Structure.
- 3
For each block, participants brainstorm answers on sticky notes and place them in the relevant section.
- 4
Discuss and challenge each block. Look for internal contradictions.
- 5
Identify the most uncertain assumptions and mark them for validation.
- 6
Iterate: revise the canvas as assumptions are tested and business understanding deepens.
Suggerimenti
Start with Customer Segments and Value Propositions — if these are wrong, everything else is wrong.
Use the canvas to explore alternatives, not just document the current model.
Differentiate between 'what we have' and 'what we need' in the Resource and Activity blocks.',
Variazioni
Combine with the Value Proposition Canvas for deeper customer insight. Run a 'Blue Ocean' variant to identify opportunities in uncontested market space.
