Use this canvas to map all the key actors influencing your system; formal and informal leaders, partners, funders, communities, critics, and resisters. It helps you understand their intentions, mindsets, incentives, and power sources so you can build coalitions, navigate dynamics, and engage more strategically for system-wide change.

A practical Backcasting workshop canvas to design pathways from a preferred future to present-day action. Used in group sessions, strategy labs, and learning environments, it guides participants to define a future state, identify the conditions required, and work backwards to map strategic shifts, experiments, and immediate actions. Designed for facilitators working on complex social, policy, or market challenges.

A practical Causal Layered Analysis (CLA) workshop canvas to analyse systems and redesign them from the inside out. Used in group sessions, strategy labs, and learning environments, it guides participants from visible issues to deeper beliefs, then flips those assumptions to reconstruct alternative futures. Designed for facilitators working on complex social, policy, or market challenges.

A practical Futures Wheel workshop canvas to map the consequences of change across a system. Used in group sessions, strategy labs, and learning environments, it guides participants from a selected signal through first-, second-, and third-order effects, then distills strategic insights on emerging risks and opportunities. Designed for facilitators working on complex social, policy, or market challenges.

These Iceberg Canvases turn systems thinking into practical, easy-to-use workshop tools. Move from events to patterns, structures, and mental models to uncover root causes and design better interventions. This set includes key “tools within a tool”; Behaviour-Over-Time Graphs, Connection Circles, and the Ladder of Inference for deeper systemic analysis.

This canvas helps you move beyond reacting to events by uncovering the deeper patterns, systemic structures, and mental models driving them. By exploring all four layers of the Iceberg Model, you discover where real leverage exists and design interventions that shift behaviours, beliefs, and long-term outcomes in your system.

A practical tool to help you deeply understand the issue you’re working on by surfacing symptoms, patterns, structures, and assumptions. It guides you to define the real problem, challenge mental models, and identify leverage points so you avoid superficial fixes and design interventions that truly shift the system.

A practical STEEPLE Horizon Scan workshop canvas to map signals of change shaping a system. Used in group sessions, strategy labs, and learning environments, it guides participants to identify emerging shifts across social, technological, economic, environmental, political, legal, and ethical dimensions, and assess why they matter. Designed for facilitators working on complex social, policy, or market challenges.

A full suite of tools for mapping complex systems, building shared understanding, and designing long-term solutions. These canvases help you frame systems, surface context, define desired futures, explore interventions, connect ideas, and plan transitions, equipping teams to co-create systemic change with clarity and confidence.
