Social Impact Lean Canvas: Designing Sustainable Pathways

​About This Event

​Develop a clear, practical roadmap to turn your research into sustainable, real-world impact.

​Traditional commercial business tools don't always fit community-driven or public-sector initiatives. In this fast-paced, 90-minute hands-on workshop, you will learn to adapt entrepreneurial models into non-commercial impact frameworks using the Social Impact Lean Canvas. Guided by Allan Waine, you'll work through real-world case studies to build a scalable, sustainable strategy for your ideas.

​What You’ll Learn & Practice:

• ​Master the Social Impact Lean Canvas: Adapt proven lean planning tools specifically for public, municipal, and non-profit contexts.

• ​Design Organizational Uptake Pathways: Identify key adoption channels, resource requirements, and impact metrics to ensure long-term initiative sustainability.

• ​Sharpen Strategic Problem-Solving: Strengthen your personal leadership toolkit with structured frameworks designed to navigate complex organizational structures.

​Who Should Attend?

​University of Alberta graduate students and postdoctoral scholars seeking practical skill-building in project sustainability, social innovation, and strategic planning for careers inside and outside academia.
