The Impact Canvas

Where will it live on Monday?

One page for taking a priority out of the workshop and into the work. Five blocks, three questions each.

The Impact Canvas: business problem, opportunity access and mandate, manager commitment, behaviour and habit, evidence and adjustment

The canvas

Five blocks. Fifteen questions.

01

Business problem

  • Is the problem clear?
  • What does the business want to be different?
  • Is there a business champion?
02

Opportunity, access and mandate

  • Will they get the chance?
  • Do they have what they need?
  • Are they allowed to change the work?
03

Manager commitment

  • Are managers enrolled?
  • How will they be enabled?
  • Who holds them accountable?
04

Behaviour and habit

  • Who does what differently?
  • When will they do it?
  • What’s the smallest version?
05

Evidence and adjustment

  • Did it happen? Who checks?
  • Did it help?
  • What will we change?

How to use it

Three steps, one priority.

Step 1

Pick one priority

  • Start with the business problem, not the training.
  • Fill in block 01 before anything else.
Step 2

Work the blocks

  • Go through 02 to 05 with the people who own the priority.
  • Answer every question. A blank is a risk.
Step 3

Test it against a real week

  • Walk it through Monday to Friday. Where does it break?
  • Fix the blocks that broke first.

We run the canvas with the people who own the priority: the business, the managers and L&D in one room. Book a strategy call to start.

Let’s talk about the strategy you need to land.
