Innovation
Axibra helps organizations grow their innovation capability — across the whole company, not in one team.
See how it worksDefining a project accurately is critical to its success. The Project Design Canvas is a visual tool that ensures you are addressing the most important components of a project and that you do so consistently.
The package
The case
Classic pyramidal type of organizational structures are rigid, slow, top-centric and siloed. While such a structure may lend itself to efficient production, it is not well adapted to organizations wanting to innovate or organizations which require adaptability in changing times. The circular organizational structure is a superior response for organizations seeking to pursue objectives such as agility, employee involvement or innovation.
The mechanics
The Project Design Canvas is organized into 6 big categories: the project direction, which the project stakeholders decide upon, the project strategy, it's resources, project planning as well as project control. The Canvas takes a realistic look at everyone and everything potentially affected by a project, and what role they should have in the project's progress. Importantly, the Canvas ensures that your project's boundaries and strategies are defined early on, and the document is used throughout the project's timespan as a reference, guide and can equally serve as a tool to step back and reflect on if the project is still on track. The Project Design Canvas thus ensures that every project has a goal, a plan, and limitations to prevent so-called "project creep."
The purpose

Beyond the download
The PDF is yours to keep. But a model changes something only when it touches the work — and that is what Axibra does with it. The model becomes the structure your decisions are made in, and every outcome stays traceable back to the input it came from.
In practice
For years we applied this model by hand, in client engagements. It now runs inside Axibra.

By subject
From here on
Axibra is where these models run. It carries a decision through to the work that follows it, and keeps every result traceable back to the input it came from. If you would rather start with a conversation, we are one call away.
Strategy does not fail in the thinking. It fails in the handover.
