Business Model Canvas Template


What is great about the web is that you can search for nearly anything and find resources that someone has made available to you so that you don't have to start a project from scratch.

When a friend told me that I should apply Alexander Osterwalder's Business Model Canvas to better evaluate a business strategy I was looking at, of course, I Googled looking for a template.  Not finding anything to my liking, I made the Template below in Google Docs available for all to copy-paste into their own docs.  Thank you to the Wiki-page creator at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Model_Canvas and Business Model Alchemist whose resources are available on the wiki-page (in my template, I added BMA's very thought-provoking category questions).

Keep in mind that most advocates of competitive strategy analysis like Osterwalder (or Michael Porter) would probably recommend that this analysis be conducted with a few people hand-writing their ideas on an actual canvas - much like 'lean principled' folk...

Anyways, here is the G-Doc version of the Canvas.  Enjoy and please continue to build a better one, and share yours with me.
