Value Proposition Design

I brought the original book called "business model canvas" and i have used the book in my own business and for client businesses. This book in particular narrow down on the value proposition and how to test the products / service against client needs. I did a brief workshop to test out the client pains against the value proposition and the results were very interesting. It gives you food for thought and also gives you scope to test, review, pivot, improve and grow your proposition. A CD is also available to help guide you thought all the steps. I would recommend this book to anyone that has an interest in improving, testing their product and service lines. Even more valuable if you are starting up from scratch!

Whether you are thinking about a Business Proposition, a Project or even trying to bring some clarity about the purpose of your Team, Value Proposition Design is a clearly and well thought out construct to follow. Using the structure - populate the sections with your reality and see how this shapes up. My suggestion - work with Post It notes and an Ink Pen that allows you to rub out, then you have a really flexible format to put moveable bullet points together that can be amended / improved as your thinking develops. As a Team Manager offering a Service into a Manufacturing plant, the book guidelines are perhaps a little naive / simple, because what I do is so complex and intermeshed, but then no book could properly capture world intricacies - that is for you the reader to get to grips with. What have I ended up with - vision, clarity, purpose about what the Team is, what it needs to deliver, how it connects, what resources it uses, revenues, customer relationships etc. Perhaps just as importantly - what the Team is not about and clarity about when to say 'No' and direct incoming work proposals to the right people (outside the Team), because taking on such work means our ability to deliver is blunted and our purpose (to others) would become confused and blurred. No bad for a few printed pages - a re-imagining of a working reality. Go buy this book if confusion reins and getting back to the straight and narrow is where you need to be.

A really good book, nothing inspirational or new in terms of the fundamentals and underlying approach of the piece however, what is new is the methodology of idea production, tracking and development. The online toolkit (which you get a lite version of free after purchasing the book) has some really useful stuff in it and I would encourage any purchaser to use this as well in conjunction with the book as it really enhances your learning trajectory. The book itself is short on words and big on ideas. As they say - a picture is worth 1000 words and a lot of the time you're reading something, with the visuals and the guides online new ideas pop into your head as you're reading. I'd encourage all purchasers to sit there with a big pad whilst reading as you're likely to get at least 40 new ideas for your company whilst going through it. I wouldn't advocate a complete adoption of all the suggestions in the book, some of them are very American and wouldn't go down with a British audience or workforce, but there is a tonne of good stuff there. The Stanford 2016 reading list highlights yet another blinder! 4/5 - brilliant book, well worth a read.

Love this book, very informative and helpful, help you to get your value proposition for your business model in easy research process. Beautiful and stunning binding book.

Exactly the opposite of what we want to do! This book aims to help you avoid the above all-too-common pitfalls. We have come across some of its key themes in myriad different guises before: focus on the customer, identify their pain points, prototype your ideas. But what’s different is that they’ve applied their own methods to this book. And the result is that it’s easy to read (very visual), it comes with an online tool-set that you can start to use straight away, and even provides support for explaining the benefits of the approach to your colleagues. I’ve already used the methods and it’s helped my team come up with suggestions that we hadn’t previously thought of. Combined with the other book in the series, “Business Model Generation”, this should increase our chances of defining business models and propositions that the customer actually wants and that increase our profit!

Libro semplicemente strepitoso. Consegna puntuale, contenuti di facile comprensione e immediatamente comprensibili che rendono semplici concetti abbastanza complessi. Consigliatissimo a chi ha già letto Business model generation.

A obra vai direto ao ponto de maneira bastante didática. Seu conteúdo é apresentado equilibrando muito bem a escrita com as ilustrações. E, no final de tudo, serve como uma guia prático que pode ser utilizado no dia-a-dia, apoiando as dinâmicas propostas pela metodologia.

一昔前、「キャンバス」といえば画家が使うものと相場が決まっていましたが、今や「ビジネスモデル・キャンバス」はオフィスの必需品になっています。 4年前に「ビジネスモデル・ジェネレーション」を刊行し、世界中にこのキャンバス・ブームを巻き起こしたアレックス・オスターワルダーが、満を持してリリースした第2作、それが「Value Proposition Design」です。 本書では、新たに「バリュープロポジション・キャンバス」が提案されています。 Chapter 1: Canvas 主な内容：バリュープロポジション・キャンバスの基礎（Job-Pain-Gainモデル） Chapter 2: Design 主な内容：キャンバスとデザイン思考による発想法 Chapter 3: Test 主な内容：キャンバスとリーン・スタートアップによる仮説検証法 Chapter 4: Evolve 主な内容：まとめ 本書の最大の特徴は、そのビジュアルな紙面でしょう。一般に、ビジネス書は文字がぎっしり詰まった無味乾燥なものが多いですが、本書は「絵本」と言っても過言ではないくらい、書籍全体が高品質なイラストで埋め尽くされています。（これは「絵ばかりで内容が無い」という意味ではありません。各イラストは、文章以上に豊かな内容を簡潔に表現しています。） また、イノベーションのための現代の各種方法論が統合されています。本書の基盤はキャンバスとデザイン思考とリーン・スタートアップですが、破壊的イノベーション、ブルーオーシャン戦略、イノベーション・ゲームといった方法論からの知見やツールも取り入れられています。 さらに、専用のオンライン・コンテンツが提供されています。読者は無料でアカウントを開設（開設時に、読者であることを確認する「3問のクイズ」が出題されます）して、演習問題に取り組んだり、キャンバスのフォーマットやポスター等をダウンロードしたりできます。 なお、バリュープロポジション・キャンバスはビジネスモデル・キャンバスを置き換えるものではありません。2つのキャンバスは交互に用います。つまり、製品／サービスの発想・検証にはVPキャンバスを用い、ビジネスモデル全体の発想・検証にはBMキャンバスを用いるのです。これによって、「顧客価値の創造」と「ビジネス価値の創造」という2つの命題を、キャンバスという一つの枠組みの中で解くことができるようになります。 本書は、2010年代後半の製品／サービス開発の共通言語の一つとなるのではないでしょうか。新製品／新サービスの企画や、プロダクト・マネジメントに携わる人には必読の書と言えるでしょう。翻訳版の刊行も待ち遠しいですね。

Cet ouvrage présente de façon claire et visuelle tous les derniers outils appliqués à la value proposition : cycles courts de tests, prototypage rapide, importance du design et de l'expérience client. Les exemples analysés sont suffisamment variés et nombreux pour inspirer le lecteur. Concret, pratique, ludique mais rigoureusement structuré.

Very good book!
