Business Model Canvas Workshop
The Business Model Canvas (BMC) is a simple, visual tool that maps out the nine key areas that are essential to any project, initiative, or business. By thinking through and completing the nine sections of a BMC, early stage change-makers, like entrepreneurs and intrepreneurs, not only design their business model but also answer the fundamental questions any business must solve.
Objectives
- Work through and complete the Business Model Canvas template from Strategyzer
- Develop a strong understanding of the BMC, with space to discuss and explore each section as a group
- Present ideas and get feedback from the group
- Have a concrete idea of next steps for your completed business model

The BMC enables people to temporarily separate themselves from their idea and adopt a bird’s eye view of how things will work, in practice.
While BMCs are extremely helpful to flesh out ideas at the earliest stages of development, they can also bring much value even when the project or business already exists.
By thinking through the nine essential areas of the BMC, aspiring entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs gain the traction to experiment and take progressive steps toward bringing their ideas to life.
