At the heart of the business model are the customer segment and your value proposition. And the goal of the business model is to find a product-market fit.

Product-Market Fit

A product-market fit is a value proposition that a customer segment must-have. The sign that you have a product-market fit is when customers send you a message and say, “when can I get one?” Or, like I always say, when money exchanges hands.

You can use the Business Model Canvas to develop your business model. It’s a tool developed by Alexander Osterwalder which is made up of nine basic building blocks.

Uses Of The Business Model Canvas

There are different uses of the business model canvas:

1) Used to develop a new business

2) Reevaluate an existing business and re-strategize

3) Team onboarding

4) Look at your competition business and see what they are doing right and where they are leaving a gap that needs to be filled

5) You can also use it for your customers

6) Mergers and Acquisitions; You look at two organisations and stretch them out and see if they fit each other.

In subsequent videos, we will examine the business model canvas in detail, the nine basic building blocks, and how they interlock.
