Testimonials

"In our work with our 120 member companies we have found the Flourishing Business Canvas useful when the leadership teams of our member companies are doing business strategy and modelling. The canvas is particularly useful as it integrates triple bottom line aspects into a single tool. While it requires work to grasp, our senior leaders appreciate such a forward looking canvas, and find it helps them developing their thinking about the connections between business, society and the environment. "

"I have used the Flourishing Business Canvas extensively in workshops I held lead with the leadership teams of the GCE NODE member company, as well as in my strategy consulting work with other businesses. I find that the canvas enables leaders of established businesses, entrepreneurs and their advisors to develop strategies that integrate social, environmental and financial performance because it gives a good understanding of the full context of and perspectives on any business."
Egil Norman Olsen
Partner at CR Group, Arendal, Adger, Norway
"I use the Flourishing Business Canvas when I teach about business models and when exploring my own business planning. I find the canvas gives a complete picture of a business and its impacts, and helps me think of areas we don’t usually consider in business planning. My aha moment was when I realized the canvas was helping me think holistically, enabling me to consider key stakeholders I didn’t include before, and consider in detail what value co-creations are possible."
