The [Impact Gaps Canvas](https://systems-ledleadership.com/impact-gaps-canvas/) helps organizations carry out an #impact-analysis by identifying and addressing gaps between their current impact and their desired impact. The tool is based on #systems-thinking and encourages organizations to think holistically about their impact and identify root causes of issues. The questions on the left help understand and map the challenge, the questions on the right help map the solutions landscape and impact gaps are in the middle.
The canvas can be used by anyone who wants to understand the landscape of a problem and identify some paths to how they might contribute to a solution. It is a collaborative tool that can be used by teams to align their sustainability goals and develop actionable solutions. It can also by #entrepreneurs in #accelerator programs or as a #learning-tool for #educators to help #students identify high-impact careers paths.
