Build and manage your innovation canvases in Accept Mission

Updated over 5 months ago

Originally, the canvas is an extremely durable plain-woven fabric used for making sails, tents, marquees, backpacks, and shelters, as a support for oil painting, and for other items for which sturdiness is required, as well as in such fashion objects as handbags, electronic device cases, and shoes. It is popularly used by artists as a painting surface, typically stretched across a wooden frame. (Wiki Canvas)

Business tool canvas

In a business context, a "canvas" is often used as a visual tool to map out key components of a business or product. It's a framework that helps you visualize and assess your business idea or concept.

A canvas can help identify key actors, activities, resources, value propositions for target customers, customer relationships, channels involved, and financial matters. It provides a comprehensive overview, helping to identify requirements to deliver a service and more.

Compared to a traditional business plan, a canvas treats developing and testing a business idea as a concise visual exercise. It's a valuable tool that provides a structured approach to designing, analyzing, optimizing, and communicating your business model².

So, whether you're brainstorming a new business idea, planning a product launch, or strategizing for growth, a canvas can be a powerful tool to help you visualize and strategize your business objectives. 😊
