The Business Model Canvas consists of nine essential building blocks: - Customer Segments: Who are our target customers? - Value Propositions: What unique value do we deliver to our customers? - Channels: How do we reach and deliver value to our customers? - Customer Relationships: How do we build and maintain relationships with our customers? - Revenue Streams: How do we generate income from our value propositions? - Key Resources: What assets are essential to our business? - Key Activities: What activities are crucial to delivering our value proposition? - Key Partnerships: Who are our key partners and suppliers? - Cost Structure: What are the major costs involved in our business? Business Model Canvas is used for a product idea. identifying and connecting these nine building blocks to form a coherent and effective business model. By using the Business Model Canvas, I can better understand the broader business landscape, align my strategies, and ensure all aspects of the business work harmoniously toward our goals. I encourage you all to share your experiences and insights on using the Business Model Canvas #20daysinPMwithAA  #GIT20dayChallenge #AfricaAgility #AfricaAgilityFoundation #GITBootcampCohort #AfricanGirlsInTechBootcamp #GITBootcampC7Challenge
