Business Model Canvas - Part 1: Build Your Canvas

The Business Model Canvas is a popular business planning tool for a reason: you can test your concept on one page. This template allows you to visually map out the start to your business plan or operation revamp on a single page. The Business Model Canvas can be designed on paper, on a computer or even using sticky notes on your wall. You’ll walk away knowing which segment of your business concept to focus in on as you move to your next stages of planning.

Part 1 of this on-demand class includes an overview of what the Business Model Canvas is, how it can help your planning process, and instructions on how to get started right away. Follow this class with Part 2 - an overview of the nine components, also available in the on-demand catalogue.

Taught by SBDC Consultant Don Rowe. Following these sessions, we encourage you to bring your completed Business Model Canvas to an individual SBDC consulting session to take your concept to the next level.
