The Value Proposition Canvas (VPC) Poster depicts the value proposition framework developed by Strategyzer that is commonly used to understand customers' needs and create value that they want. The poster comes in two themes: color and monochrome. Formatted in PDF, the poster can be easily printed on an A3-sized paper. The VPC poster complements the 'Value Proposition Canvas' and 'Business Model Canvas (BMC)' training presentation materials. It is an effective tool that can be printed and distributed to attendees of your VPC and/or BMC awareness or workshop session. It serves as a takeaway and summary of your VPC and/or BMC presentation.
