Key Activities highlighted on the canvas
Like key resources, key activities are required to create and offer a value proposition, reach markets, maintain relationships, and earn revenues. They can be categorized as production (i.e.., designing, making, and delivering a product/service), problem-solving (i.e., coming up with new solutions to customer problems), and platform/network (i.e., managing a platform, promoting a platform and providing related service).
Key activities across the commerce and impact dimensions of your organization may be complementary (i.e., business activities are complemented by and/or complement impact activities) or opposing (i.e., it is difficult to balance the two). Complementary activities may be leveraged for greater efficiencies across the delivery of commercial and impact value. In the case of opposing activities, problem solving is needed so that commercial and impact imperatives are balanced or at least can co-exist. Unpacking your impact activities is an important part of understanding your business model as a social enterprise.
