Invest

The bottom two blocks of the canvas are about investment. The left-block plots the financial investment while the right-block's focus is on metrics, that is, measuring  and evaluating the value of investment.

C$ - Cost Structure

Use the CS block to plot costs that will be incurred throughout the project. Information plotted in other blocks clarify the total financial investment needed to complete the project. Knowing costs is vital for the whole team.

Tip: the best opening question to ask for this block is, ''How can we make the best possible learning for the money invested?'

ROI - Return on Investment

This block is about measurement and evaluation. This falls into four main categories we call, the 4Ps:

  • Performance (business gains)
  • Product (learning gains)
  • Prototype (quality assuring learning activities)
  • Project (evaluating project progress).

Tip: the best opening question to ask for this block is, 'What does success look like?'
