SUPPLY CHAIN CANVAS: Fractal Chain of Stakeholders, Business Models, and/or P.O.K.E.R. Canvases
ENVIRONMENT
Pull Push
1. A supply chain or system delivers every object in our universe: product; service; customer/user experience; impact; trade-off;
organizaQon. The absolutely original supplier or value creator is nature. Thus, every object is part of a supply chain.
2. A classic or “molecular” supply chain consists of four categories of stakeholders: supplier; producer; customer; consumer. A
stakeholder can have a dual idenAty as a Value Creator (VC) and/or Value Recipient (VR). Every stakeholder has an atomic
supply chain and uses a pain solving or learning cycle of Pain-Plan-Do-Review (PPDR) to eliminate trade-offs.
3. An “atomic” supply chain involves two organiza4onal en44es - Value Creator (VC) and Value Recipient (VR) - that exchange
products, informaQon, goods, and/or services. At the highest level of abstracQon, a molecular supply chain can be illustrated
as an atomic supply chain. A recursive, self-similar or fractal relaAonship therefore exists between molecular and atomic
supply chains.
4. A Business Model Strip and/or P.O.K.E.R. Canvas can be used to illustrate how any system, organizaQon, atomic supply chain,
or molecular supply chain works while it creates, delivers, and captures/shares value.
5. Every sustainable or viable stakeholder including a Value Creator and Value Recipient requires a “back-end” supply chain
(push) and “front-end” supply chain (pull) while creaQng a net posiQve value in an ecosystem.
6. At any given point in 4me, a business model can be illustrated using a “pipe” supply chain or “plaeorm (networked)” supply
chain. Like in the tool of a supply chain, the structure of a business model evolves from a pipe(chain) to a plaeorm (network).
