Transition a Good Idea into a Great Business-Lake Forest October 11, 2019 

The Business Model Canvas is a tool used to define and communicate a business idea or concept. It is used by businesses of all sizes, from startups to large companies. The model helps you visualize the components needed to turn your idea into a profitable company. This workshop will explain each of the nine parts of the Business Model Canvas and begin making a preliminary plan. Presenters from SCORE will examine the challenges presented by traditional business plans. They will also discuss why many startups, educators, and investors are adopting the Business Model Canvas.
