Platform Business Model Canvas (P-BMC) or Business Model Canvas (BMC)?

Unlike the Business Model Canvas, which is designed for a linear interaction chain from producer to consumer, the P-BMC focuses on the open system between all parties. Multiple suppliers and consumers can interact with each other simultaneously and directly.

What defines a P-BMC?

The Platform Business Model Canvas (P-BMC) is designed in a circular shape. This allows the various parties to be represented as actors in the business process. These parties comprise the four main areas of producers, consumers, partners, and platform owners. The three core areas consist of value proposition, value transaction, and key components.

Why should you use a P-BMC template?
