Workshop Overview
What you will do at the Value Proposition Workshop
Part 1: Get to Know the Value Proposition Canvas
Start by defining your target customer segment.
The Value Proposition Canvas focuses on two key components of the Business Model Canvas: your value proposition and your customer segment.
Before diving into your Value Proposition, you must first analyze your customer segment. What is your target market? What is the addressable size of that market? What market share do you want to obtain? Who are your actual customers?
You will investigate their personas and create their so-called customer journey. You will need to make a deliberate decision about which customer segment(s) you wish to target.
Part 2: Explore your Customer Profile - Understand Your Customer
Step into your Customers’ Shoes!
Following the selection of your customer segment(s), you must define the right side of the Value Proposition Canvas: the Customer Profile.
You will be introduced to the notion of Jobs to be Done. And the significance of creating outstanding value propositions that customers want.
You will create a map of your customer’s jobs, pains and gains. You will lear out about various job types as well as how to identify high-value jobs.
You will learn simple ways for gaining customer insights, as well as how to conduct customer discovery interviews, by asking the appropriate interview questions and identifying patterns in customer research.
Part 3: Explore your Value Proposition - Create Value for Your Customer
The heart of Your Business Model is your Value Proposition.
Great value propositions focus on the jobs, pains, and gains that are most important to your customer segments.
They represent the bundle of products and services that add value to your customer’s life by alleviating severe pains and archiving desired gains.
You will discover six strategies to innovate from your customer jobs and how to assess your value proposition by comparing it against the ten characteristics of outstanding value propositions.
Finally, you will develop a concise value proposition statement to pitch to your customers.
Part 4: Check the Fit between Customer Profile & Value Proposition
Value Proposition Design is all about finding the right fit!
So far, you’ve created your Customer Profile and your Value Proposition.
The next step is to see how well the two fit together. Are you focusing on essential customer gains? Are you addressing severe customer pains?
You’ll learn about the three levels of fit and how to switch between your Business Model and Value Proposition.
You will also brainstorm ideas to improve your fit and learn about the multiple fits that may exist inside your Business Model.

Building something that no one wants is the biggest reason of business failure.
We all know that the best way to build a successful company is by solving your customer's problems. But how do you find out what those problems are?
Most companies focus on the features and benefits, but these don't give you any insight into your customers' jobs they want to get done.
And even if you did understand their jobs, it can be hard for you as a business owner to prioritize which features will provide the most value for your customers.
The Value Proposition Canvas is an easy method for understanding your customers' needs and turning them into products and services that solve their problems at a profit.
This one-day workshop will help you use this practical framework during idea generation or when looking to pivot to grow your business faster than ever before!
