Business Model Canvas (BMC) Poster (PDF)

The Business Model Canvas (BMC) is a Strategic Management and Lean Startup template for developing new or redesigning existing business models to create competitive advantage.

Based on the framework developed by Strategyzer, the BMC Poster is presented as a visual chart with 9 building blocks. These elements cover the areas of the organization's core offering, infrastructure, customers, and finances. They include: Customer Segments, Value Propositions, Channels, Customer Relationships, Revenue Streams, Key Resources, Key Activities, Key Partnerships and Cost Structure.

This innovative and increasingly popular tool can be used in a collaborative setting such as a strategic planning and deploymentworkshop. It helps organizations to align their activities by illustrating and discussing potential trade-offs in a structured manner. It is a hands-on tool that fosters understanding, discussion, creativity, and analysis.

The BMC poster is available in two distinct themes: a vibrant color scheme and a professional monochrome version. In both formats, the poster comes in a convenient PDF as well as an editable PPTX format, enabling effortless printing on A3/A4-sized paper from standard office copier machines. This versatile resource can be prominently displayed on employee workstations or distributed alongside your training materials.

The BMC Poster supplements the 'Value Proposition Canvas (VPC)' and 'Business Model Canvas (BMC)' training presentation materials. It serves as a takeaway and summary of your VPC and/or BMC presentation.
