How does your organization create, deliver, and capture the value of innovation concepts? Real-time Collaborative Canvas helps you bring all of the key elements of an idea or concept onto a single page. It can be used to develop a business concept, collaborate virtually to describe its potential, and to build a business case. Canvas is a visual and intuitive way to communicate ideas and develop new concepts. It forces you to think of concepts in a more structured way and reduces the business case development process using a templated approach where the assumptions can be tested and validated or rejected before the concept turns into a project.
Benefits
Use canvas to describe and quickly validate a concept instead of developing time-consuming financial models or detailed business plans
The lightweight nature of a canvas is ideally suited for the innovator’s journey which is best characterized more as a search than the execution of a working model. New concept development and validation requires a multi-faceted approach and an agile mindsight that can quickly adapt and evolve with new learnings.
Canvas is not only a quick but also an effective way for you to tell a story
Features
It’s easy for you to create, adapt, and share a new canvas by offering the following pre-configured canvas templates:
BMC - Business Model Canvas (BMC) is a model for describing, visualizing, and assessing business model changes. It describes what value is created and delivered.
Lean - Lean Canvas is an adaptation of BMC designed to be problem/solution-focused presented in a lean startup spirit (fast, concise, and agile)
Pitch - A Pitch Canvas helps you prepare a pitch for a business idea to potential investors by describing the idea’s audience, needs, objectives, message, and call to action.
Flourishing - Flourishing Business Canvas provides a common language for describing and designing a concept with a diverse range of stakeholders and goals. It builds an understanding of interconnections between the concept and the organization with its communities and the world: economically, socially, and environmentally.
SWOT Analysis - SWOT Analysis Canvas describes the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats of a concept to help determine whether the concept fits your organization’s risk tolerance and is aligned with your strategic objectives.
Add one or multiple canvases to the concept you’d like to further develop and invite team members to collaborate in real-time. Everyone can add sticky notes, files, and ideas to fill out each section.
Choose canvases that you would like to explore further and export them in a variety of formats for further discussion, planning, risk analysis with stakeholders, and subject matter experts.
Invite people to collaborate with you on the canvas.
Attach a cover image, documents, and images to cards.
Setup what canvas invites you would like to be notified of via Slack, Microsoft Teams, or browser notifications.
