mCANVAS Story

mCANVAS - the story behind the budget

Explain purpose, results, change, and risk in the same organizational context as the financial plan.

  • mCANVAS explains purpose,

    results, change, and risk in the same organizational context as the financial plan. Narratives, impacts, and risks keep the public-service story beside the dollars.

  • Leadership sees mission

    and department story, accomplishments, challenges, and mitigation plans—not simply the dollar amount—when budget choices are debated.

  • Accomplishments, challenges, and

    mitigation plans sit with the financial plan—not in a separate binder. Leadership debates dollars with the public-service story already in view.

  • Mission and risk

    narratives stay available for mid-year monitoring, not only during adoption-week briefings for boards. Leadership hands governing bodies a public-service story that still explains outcomes when dollars are revisited later, and boards receive the same story staff already trust.
