Few people were more surprised than I was when Business Model Generation turned into an international bestseller. According to one ranking, it is now the twenty-ninth best-selling management book of all time! The success of that book is based on the Business Model Canvas. Few people know the origins of the Canvas, so Tim and Bruce suggested I share that story here.
