This year we’re offering two programs on adapting the principles of the Business Model Canvas to the needs of social purpose organizations.
In 2008, Alexander Osterwalder revolutionized the entrepreneurial world by re-imagining pages of difficult-to-understand business strategy as a simple chart showing the nine key elements of almost any enterprise.
Brilliant as it was, though, the BMC was for conventional businesses. It did not address the unique needs of ventures focusing on positive social impact.
Petra Mutch was cited as one of Canada’s Inspiring 50 women of 2018 for her company Eve-volution Inc, a certified lean, networked, feminist B-Corp whose mission is to influence and guide people to create enterprises grounded in feminist values and for her magazine, LiisBeth which serves as a convener, capacity-builder and voice for the growing, 10,000+ all-gender, entrepreneurial feminist community.
Petra will present Inside Feminist Business, an opportunity to explore and apply the Feminist Business Model Canvas for ventures committed to feminist values such as agency, inclusion, equity, interdependence, and generosity.
