Infographic on the Marketing Canvas Process

The tool has been designed for facilitating the discussion when designing your strategy.

High-level process is:

  • You start from an ambition/question (like increase revenue by 5%, have more digital transactions, be more meaningful, ...) 
  • You discuss using the 28 dimensions asking:
    • What's blocking you to achieve your ambition? (brakes)
    • What's helping you (Accelerator)?
    • You can support this rating using any information, knowledge you have but it works also if you only rely on qualitative information.
  • Then you map your answer on the Canvas. Red are brakes; Green are accelerators.
  • Then you try to analyse these brakes/accelerators and understands what cause them, what are the correlation.
  • Then you start ideating (brain-writing, co-create, ...), find crazy or impossible ideas) on what you could do (magic diamond, do things better, do different things).
  • Then you prioritise your ideas.
  • If you can you test it.
  • Then you have your action plan.
