Are you part of an NGO, small business or organisation working with food, sustainability and cities? Are you looking to set goals for your organisation, assess your values and strategise for success? Do you want ideas for how to let the world know about all the great things you're doing?
In this webinar, hosted by the Edible Cities Network, the Marketplace team will introduce you to a brand new tool that could help you gain a new perspective on your urban food initiative, identify its core values and develop strategies that will ensure it stays strong, stable and thriving long into the future: the Diamond Model.
Developed by the Marketplace team’s Alice Bischof (Wageningen University), the Diamond Model can also help you communicate effectively about how, why and to whom your organisation makes a difference.
Similar to the Business Model Canvas, the Diamond Model supports business model innovation and strategising. But it's not just for profit-oriented organisations - it can be used to support all types, including NGOs, NPOs and associations too.
If you prioritise social and/or ecological goals over commercial success, this tool is for you! And if you want to include commercial value streams into your initiative, the model covers them as well.
