    Why this course?

    Many organisations confuse strategy with business model: an inspiring story with no anchor in a clear value proposition or a robust economic model. The result is blurred positioning and unstable trade-offs. This format brings a concrete framework (Business Model Canvas, Value Proposition Design, Blue Ocean) to align strategy, offer and the creation and capture of value.

    Key points

    A clear value proposition
    Creating & capturing value

    Objectives

    Clarify the value proposition and connect it to what customers expect.

    Choose a competitive positioning that fits (cost, differentiation, focus, hybrid).

    Structure the offer with the Business Model Canvas and Value Proposition Design.

    Explore new value spaces with the Blue Ocean approach (ERRC grid, value curve).

    Connect business model and strategy to build a durable advantage.
