Canvas
Many are familiar with Business Model Canvas, a template created by Alexander Osterwalder that enables organizations to map out their new or existing business models. Since Osterwalder’s initial work in 2004, the concept has risen in popularity and is now used by numerous companies worldwide. Over the years, the original concept has been adjusted to serve different purposes. In the field of networking, Canvas can support you in structuring and managing larger groups and communities.
