The basics
What is the Business Model Canvas?
The Business Model Canvas, created by Alexander Osterwalder, describes a business in nine blocks: key partners, activities and resources; value propositions; customer relationships, channels and segments; cost structure and revenue streams.
Working on one page makes gaps obvious — a value proposition with no channel, or costs no revenue covers.
