Business Model Canvas Workshop – BEAM meets NextX
On Tuesday October 12th we students from the “Englischen Institut Heidelberg” had the opportunity to be part of a Busines Model Canvas Workshop in the “Gründerinstitut”. What is the “Business Model Canvas”? How do I build a StartUp and how do I start? These questions were answered on this fun day.
The second part of the day was a “Business Model Canvas” Workshop offered by SAP Young Thinkers. Dan Seiler and Luisa Metzger, members of the SAP Young Thinkers team, presented the model and its different parts. The “Business Model Canvas” is a set of tools that visualizes existing business models and helps to create new ones. The concept was created by the Swiss entrepreneur Alexander Osterwalder, who wrote about it in the book “Business Model Generation”.
We students had already collected our own business ideas in small groups. Our mission was applying the model to our vision of a business idea and at the end we presented each other our business concepts. The model was not only an interesting visualization of a business concept but also of our potential future. It looked like this:
All in all it was a very educational, creative and inspiring workshop with lots of fun. Our mission for the future is to work on our business concepts and maybe implement our ideas.
Hi Daniel von Maydell, thanks so much for sharing your experience! This sounds like a super interesting day. I hope you and/ or some of your classmates will realize your company ideas one day! 🙂
