“So, which project is the most promising?” 

Der Human-centered Strategy Canvas

The human-centered business model for modern companies and those who want to become one!

The Business Model Canvas has established itself as a method to visualize the business-relevant aspects of a business model, a project or an innovation. However, one important aspect is missing.

​

Unfortunately, this picture becomes blurred when it comes to the details that are crucial for the acceptance and success of a project: The user and the added value to the user from the user's perspective.

​

​For this purpose, this canvas focuses on the added value and the impact on the UX, through human-centered design, for the project and the company.

Performance in different phases of the business
For existing systems, processes, and organizations, the Canvas is appropriate to:
​
  • analyze the maturity and compliance of an organization with respect to human-centered design
     

  • form the basis for a SWOT analysis
     

  • identify the relationships of the various stakeholders
     

  • direct the discussion to internal and external information and data
     

  • to provide a holistic view of UX and Human-centered Design in an organization.

For planned endeavors, products, processes, systems, or services, the Canvas provides:
​
  • a simple means to better outline the project
     

  • a basis for a SWOT analysis of the project
     

  • verifiable metrics and criteria for quality in usability, UX and human-centered design, instead of "fairy tale" KPIs for a generic scorecard
     

  • the bridge to the consideration of internal and external data, information and competition

The Human-centered Strategy Canvas highlights the need for a clear mission within the organization for Human-centered Design.
