This Lean Canvas helps communities explore an enterprise idea while keeping authority, aspirations and cultural safety central to the discussion. It begins with the right to proceed: whose Country or place is involved, who can make decisions, and what mandate and consent processes are needed.
The resource then guides discussion of community foundations, markets, delivery and commercial viability. Prompts cover governance and ownership, cultural and data rights, success measures, customers, partners, operational risks, revenue and costs, including the resources needed for governance and stewardship.
The PDF includes explanatory prompts and a blank canvas for group planning. It recommends printing the canvas at A3 size and treating it as a document to test, discuss and revise as evidence develops. It can support staged decisions about whether and how to take an idea forward.
Developed by Pollination Foundation, with input from partners, expert practitioners and community members.
