The nine blocks, and what people get wrong

The Business Model Canvas maps how a business creates, delivers and captures value. Most canvases fail because the blocks are filled with slogans instead of decisions.

Customer segments and value propositions must match

Each segment deserves its own promise. One vague value proposition stretched across three audiences usually means none of them are served.

Channels are how value reaches people

Awareness, purchase and delivery can run through different channels. Be explicit about each rather than writing "social media".

Revenue streams and cost structure belong together

Reading the two bottom blocks side by side is where a business model is proved or disproved.

Key resources, activities and partners

What you must own, what you must do, and what you can safely buy from someone else.

Customer relationships

Self-serve, high-touch, community-led — this choice quietly determines your cost of serving.

What you can define

Business concept

The model in one paragraph, before the blocks.

Customer segments
