Business Models

The Business Model Canvas may be helpful for social innovation labs to think through a business model for a project or solutions idea/ intervention.

The Business Model Canvas (BMC) was originally developed to help startups think through their business model. The BMC is an alternative to a business plan, and helps entrepreneurs think through the different aspects of their business – helping them to build a business from scratch, or to improve on a specific business product or service.

The business model canvas is a powerful visual distillation of Alexander Osterwalder's PhD thesis "The Business Model Ontology." Its popularity has led to numerous adaptations, including socially and environmentally conscious variations. They include the Flourishing Business Canvas, the Social Business Model Canvas, and the Mission Model Canvas.
