If you are thinking of Starting a business OR want to add new products and services and innovate your Existing business, understanding your business model is key. 

A business model describes the rationale of how an organisation creates, delivers and captures value. It can be described through 9 building blocks: Customer Segments, Value Propositions, Channels, Customer Relationships, Revenue Streams, Key Resources, Key Activities, Key Partnerships & Cost Structure.

If you are unsure how to use a Business Model Canvas or just need a refresher, this course is for you.
