15. Using the lean canvas
• When
• Ideation
• Strategic conversations
• Who
• Field staff
• Leadership
16. THE BEST WAY TO FIND AN
IDEA THAT MATTERS IS TO
TEST LOTS OF MODELS.
17. Ideate and Screen
• After brainstorming screen ideas based on:
• Value – appropriateness of pain it addresses, who
benefits and how
• Impact - Risk relative to potential impact
• Scale - Cost and potential for mass adoption
• Rather than look for THE answer we should be
open to try different options and allow data from
performance in the real-world
18. Test models
• Test riskiest assumptions as quickly and cheaply as
possible
• Define expected outcomes upfront
• Measure actions not words
• Define conditions for success / failure
• Time box
• Compare it to expected results to determine what works
and what doesn’t
• Pivot or persevere
Working on a 5-year program we were locked into that was outlined in a lengthy plan
Reporting focused on outputs
Based on what I saw in the field, wondered whether we were having an impact
When I look back on it today and what I learned about the lean methodology I realized that there was a problem with the how we were managing uncertainty
Organizationally - Requiring planning process
Internally from not having an easy way to map idea
Need a tool that makes it easy for frontline staff close to problem to share ideas
We are also dealing with complex and wicked problems so what appears initially as a solution can change
Only have time and resources to act on a few ideas
Need a faster and cheaper to uncover ideas that matter
Need to test ideas early and often
Focus on outcomes not outputs
Need to consider more how our ideas will scale
Problem of business plans
Opportunity with models
Content is made up but portrayed as certain
Lengthy and time consuming to write and update
Are out of date almost as soon as they are written
Do nothing to quickly communicate the critical assumptions the idea is based on
Story about how an organization creates, delivers, and captures value
Fast – To prepare and to interpret, which make it easy to brainstorm and test
Iterative – Easy to revise canvases as hypotheses are tested and keep current
Concise –Focus on the critical aspects of the model
Accessible – Easy to read, share, and communicate when gathering feedback
Fits on one page
Maps all crucial assumptions
Can be modelled for both beneficiaries and donors
Problem focus
Defines what the organization is addressing
Donor
Actionable
Metrics focused
Donor and beneficiary
Value, Impact, Scale
Makes connection between money and mission
How does the mission connect back to the money
Customer segments
Map both beneficiaries and donors
Early adopters – how you measure those most likely to target
Problem
What is the mission that you are addressing with beneficiaries
What is in it for the donors
UVP
How you are different and worth paying attention
Solution
statement on key features that will address the problem
Critical partners if co-delivering services
Key metrics
Short-term – value, impact growth
Cost
Basic costs to test model
Revenue
Cost recovery
What will be monetized for donors
Channels
Partners that are helping with reach
How donors and beneficiaries first hear about program
I help changemakers to learn, innovate, and grow faster to scale their impact.
Go to my website there is more information on how to use the lean canvas in a non-profit
I recommend create a canvas for your organization or a program in the planning stage, send it to me and we can set up a call to go over it
