This is awesome Andy ! Thanks so much for the generous sharing ! I found you through the IAF facebook page ,,
We developed a partnership canvas to frame the terms for partnerships among mission-oriented parties. It is similar to the one you have in here, but is a mutual agreement that is developed over a series of joint workshops with the stakeholders most affected by the partnership. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xFI3rlJvPjUusb-5MPhIkyCE4GXtKvoh Feel free to share, with attribution!
A short note to say this is really great – thank you, Andi
(And, as a framework fanatic myself, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed looking through!)
Great collection, thanks! We’ve created the Alignment Canvas that helps teams define their purpose, goals and align them with the rest of the organization.
The purpose of the Alignment Canvas is twofold. First, it will help you and your fellow team members define qualitative and quantitative goals for a specific period. By following the steps, you will shape, align and solidify your goals. Next, a completed canvas can be discussed with other teams and stakeholders to show and review goals and expectations. A set of canvasses serve as a tool to check if everyone is moving in the same direction and reveal when they are not.
