Join us for a high-energy, hands-on workshop designed to elevate your strategic product thinking using two indispensable frameworks: the Business Model Canvas (BMC) and the Value Proposition Canvas (VPC).
Whether you're validating a new idea, pivoting an existing product, or looking to clearly articulate your value creation engine, this session will provide the tools and experience you need.
***
## What You Will Do
- Network with Purpose: Kick off the event with "Product Stories Speed Connect," a structured ice-breaker to meet fellow product professionals and share real-world product challenges.
- Deconstruct the Canvas: Get a concise, practical overview of the 9 building blocks of the Business Model Canvas and how the Value Proposition Canvas plugs directly into the core of your offering.
- Hands-On Application: Work in small, collaborative groups to apply the canvases to a real or simulated product challenge. You might redesign a familiar product for a new market or design a solution from a user problem.
- Share and Learn: Each group will have a chance to present their BMC, focusing on their biggest insights and debates.
- Connect and Grow: Stay for our "Take One, Leave One" wrap-up activity to exchange resources, tools, and contacts with the local product community.
## Who Should Attend?
This workshop is tailored for Product Managers, Product Owners, Designers, and Business Strategists who want to move beyond feature-level thinking and understand the holistic business model that drives product success. All experience levels with the canvases are welcome!
