Template: S3 Organization Canvas is a tool to explore new business models or product ideas, or for communicating existing ones, it is used instead of Business Model Canvas. Sociocracy as a form of governance has been referred to since 1851. Subsequently, it has been developed and adapted by many different people and organisations, including Gerard Endenburg, The Sociocracy Group (TSG) and Brian Robertson (HolacracyOne). The name “Sociocracy 3.0 (S3)” demonstrates both respect to the lineage and a significant step forward. Refer to Glossary for terms you are not familiar with.
