Lean BP/Canvas
Lean B.P./Canvas Definitions
Key Partnerships: Note the other businesses or services you’ll work with to run your business. Think about
suppliers, manufacturers, subcontractors and similar strategic partners.
Key Activities: List the ways your business will gain a competitive advantage. Highlight things like selling direct
to consumers, or using technology to tap into the sharing economy.
Key Resources: List any resource you’ll leverage to create value for your customer. Your most important assets
could include staff, capital, or intellectual property. Don’t forget to leverage business resources that might be

Customer Relationships: Describe how customers will interact with your business. Is it automated or personal?
In person or online? Think through the customer experience from start to finish.

important to have a clear sense of who your business will serve to drive marketing and product development
decisions.
Channels (BTC & BTB): List the most important ways you’ll talk and market to your customers. Most businesses
use a mix of channels and optimize them over time based on analysis on channel effectiveness.

the most significant costs, challenges, and bottlenecks you’ll face pursuing it.

but spend the most time on the core business revenue.

Notes for the Pitch
•
FCHS founded on Christian values of character, leadership, and service
•
Leadership and service
•
Focus on soft skills
•
Create a portion of school (bakery) that helps special education students
•
We are getting increasing number of students that have some type of challenge, learning disability, or social issues
•
Most special education students are not set to live independence lifestyle
•
Makes students independ upon graduation and integrates mainstream students into that progress to create relationships
•
How to do this: our guiding functions are we want a program that helps special ed students be integrated into the local economy and community, we
would like to have some tuition offset to help with hiring special teachers. We don’t get state funding because of non-profit and catholic/Christian
values
•
We would like the special education students would be the cornerstone of the program and focal point, but everyone would benefit from it.
•
What is next step? Create business plan but we want the students to create it, but before the semester is up we want our students to prepare a
briefing of a part of whole of the business plan to pitch you for feedback or for assistance. Hopefully an agreement to sell those products that is fail.
•
This is my pre-pitch. If you say no to partnering, we still ask if you would receive the students brief.
•
Ryan will be busy during march/April. Last 2 weeks in mnarch and first week in April.
