BCGW on the Road to CW Co-Work – Business Model Canvas + Strategic Planning

The Business Model Canvas (BMC) is an essential strategic management tool that helps entrepreneurs, managers, and teams visualize, design, and refine their business model in a simple, structured way. Its importance lies in how it breaks down complex business concepts into nine clear building blocks.

Here’s why it is important:

• Provides a Clear Overview of the Business
• Encourages Strategic Thinking
• Simplifies Communication
• Supports Alignment and Collaboration
• Useful for Startups and Established Businesses Alike

Join us for a 3 hour in-person session on Thursday Jan. 15th at 9am to go over and complete a Business Model Canvas then finish with a conversation on strategic planning for your small business in 2026.

Hosted in partnership with CW Co-Work and Executive Director, Kristel Manes from Business Centre Guelph Wellington.
