DESCRIPTION
Like its agile cousins, Business Model Generation works at its best when a cross-functional team populates the canvas on a white board, flip chart or similar. As the business model grows ahead visually, it become obvious how its different parts depend on each other. Even a brilliant idea needs a smart payment solution, effective sales channels and an appropriate price, to attract today's "spoiled" customers.TRANSCRIPT

Session 1: Populating the canvas
• Customer segments• Value proposition• Channels• Customer relationships• Revenue streams
• Key activities• Key resources• Key partners• Cost structures
Session 1 is about populating the canvas based upon already produced value proposition and customer segment. During this first session it is common to have to adjust both initial value proposition and customer segment due to the learnings that arise when additional information is visualized. Feel free to add multiple customer segments and value proposition if needed, separated with different colored post-its.

competitors?How easy is it for someone to copy and catch up?

Session 3: Creating a validation test
• When your business model have passed the assessment, then it is time for validation.
• Create a validation test and start asking for customer feedback
• The validation testing will normally require several test cycles with new learnings and business model adaptation in between. This takes place after the workshop.

How to plan and executeMake sure there is an elevator pitch (or similar) available as input.For complex products/services, think about having user personas and/or a customer life cycle/journey made beforehand for additional input. If you are a large group (more than 7) – go for a multi team approach and create multiple business model which are merged in two steps; after completing the revenue stream and after completing the cost structure. Sometimes your business model will include multiple customer segments, each with their own value proposition and channels. Keep them apart by using different colored post-its.Validation means that your business model have been proven to work in accordance with your validation test – it is of great importance to create a relevant validation test.Remember! A workshop is a workout:"You've got big dreams? You want fame? Well, fame costs. And right here is where you start paying ... in sweat.“ (Lydia Grant, Fame)
