What's the structure of the BMC?

Central to the BMC is the Value Proposition.

On the left you will find the internal organization with Key Partners, Key Activities and Key Resources.

On the right side you will find the customer side with Customer Relationships, Channels and Customer Segments.

At the bottom you will find the cost side with Cost Structure and Revenue Streams.

 

It is important to harmonize the various parts. It is common that you sometimes search for improvements to harmonize your BMC. It indicates that there are opportunities for improvement that you’d better embrace.

Practical tips

Print the BMC large and display it on a central and visible place, so that the business strategy is known to everyone. Validate regularly whether the BMC is still correct. If you're in the problem fit phase of LEAN Startup e.g. every two weeks and if you scale up e.g. every quarter.

Maximize the impact

If you want to get the most out of the BMC and develop an optimal strategy, it makes sense to be supported by a coach. After all, the templates are not just input sheets, but instruments that you use to determine your strategy. It goes without saying that the strategy of the company is crucial to the success of the company. Contact Red Harbour for support.
