What is the Business Model Canvas (BMC)?

The Business Model Canvas is a comprehensive and widely accepted model/methodology to plan, design, and describe a business model. Each of its blocks refers to a strategic area of your business and is used to describe its core aspects, helping you to visualize trade-offs, to take internal and external factors into account, and to align strategy and values.

In business, strategic clarity is essential to the decision-making processes, to enhance the competitive profile and achieve higher performance. In other words, the key to success.

This vizzard is based on the original template created by Alexander Osterwalder and is very easy to use. However, because we know that every business has its specificities, we’ve made it flexible to allow you to customize the sections with ease, according to your business needs.

It focuses on Problems, Solutions, Unfair advantages and Key metrics, instead of Key partners, Key activities, Customer relationships, and Key resources respectively.
