How do strategic leaders think differently from busy managers? The answer lies in mastering the Business Model Canvas — a one-page framework that transforms complexity into clarity.
In this video, I’ll show you how to use the Business Model Canvas to:

✅ Shift from execution to strategic leadership
✅ Diagnose weak conversions, margins, or misaligned activities
✅ Design fast experiments that validate real customer behavior
✅ Align product, sales, finance, and operations around one shared model
✅ Build executive presence with substance — not just storytelling

Whether you’re a senior IT leader, entrepreneur, or manager aspiring for strategic roles, this video will help you see your business through the lens of systems, trade-offs, and evidence.

What you’ll learn in this video:
The 9 building blocks of the Business Model Canvas (customers, value propositions, channels, activities, partners, resources, costs, and revenues)
How to spot constraints and focus where it matters
How to run lightweight tests to de-risk assumptions
How to use the canvas in board meetings to drive faster, sharper decisions

If you want to move from being seen as an execution manager to being respected as a strategist, this is your starting point.

📌 Try it this week: Print the canvas, pick one customer segment, map assumptions, and run small tests. In just a month, you’ll generate more strategic insights than most teams do in a quarter.
