Entrepreneurs have begun using the Flourishing Business Canvas as a key tool to rapidly prototype and iterate on their business models. The Canvas allows them to start with their core values, striving to be flourishing entrepreneurs, and then allows them to design and test potential models.
Fr8 Living Solutions, with coaching and support from First Explorer Pillar Non-Profit, used the Flourishing Business Canvas to design and test multiple possible business models for their enterprise. The broad sections on the canvas ( People, Value, Process and Outcomes) and the three perspectives (Environment, Society and Economic) forced them to reflect on all aspects of their business. As they explored and tested, they were able to pivot, updating and changing sections on the canvas to reflect their new understanding.
