Assignment 4: Business Model Canvas (2020)

>>> Back to assignments overview

Elements of the Business Canvas

The business model canvas is a great development tool that helps you specify the core elements of a business and operation model. You can also use it for specifying a new organisational model.

These elements typically include:

• Key partners
• Key activities
• Key resources
• Value proposition(s)
• Customer relationships
• Beneficiaries and customers
• Channels
• Cost structure
• Revenue streams

In our context of social innovation, the business model canvas should further include information on: 'Your vision and mission with regard to social innovation (and/or wider sustainable development goals)

• Social and/or environmental impact goals
• Scalability

During the online course we will introduce you step by step to the business model canvas and you will have some opportunities for practicing during the tutored session.

A complete, detailed and elaborated Business Model Canvas is the main outcome of your group work in the local or in the international community labs, on in the virtual teams.

Submission and presentation

• You present your business model canvas during the intensive programmes or during your work in the local community lab (to be scheduled individually with your supervisors)
• Please submit your business model canvas on June 21, 2020, in the submission area on ILIAS.
