*Partners - suppliers/employees/contractors who provide access to resources/markets and technologies.
*Resources - firms use their relationships with their suppliers to source and secure the right resources to make products or services that satisfy their customers. These are both tangible and intangible inputs.

*Activities - firms and their partners engage in activities that use the processes to convert resources into goods and services. They depict what is done and where know-how, skills, learning, and culture come together to make things happen, capturing how valuable the people element is in value creation. Effectiveness and efficiency are the key measures of success in this context.
*Outputs - resources are converted through activities and processing into outputs which can be products, services, or experiences, all of which aim to meet the customer value proposition
