Lean Canvas
A Brief Tutorial
Typically, a Lean or Business Model Canvas is:
- A strategic management and lean startup template for developing new or documenting existing business models
- A visual chart with elements describing a firm’s or product’s value proposition, infrastructure, customers and finances
- Assists firms in aligning their activities by illustrating potential trade-offs
Take a look at this video for a quick (2:20 min) overview of the Lean Canvas. Well worth your time even if you choose not to be associated with GEM.
