The Business Model Canvas for use in organizations

The Business Model Canvas iPad application is now available. Visit the Hub for details.

The Business Model Canvas is an analytical tool described in Business Model Generation. It is a visual template preformatted with the nine blocks of a business model, allowing users to diagram existing business models or conceive new ones.

The Canvas is ordinarily printed or drawn on a large surface so groups of people can jointly start sketching and discussing business model elements using Post-it® notes or marking pens. It is a hands-on tool that fosters analysis, understanding, discussion, and creativity.
