Abstract: Learning how to use two complementary strategic tools -The Flourishing Business Model Canvas (FBC)and the SOAR framework- can benefit students' by teaching them how to understand strengths, resources, processes of an ecosystem, seize opportunities for collective innovation, and inspire stakeholders to reach shared flourishing goals for their enterprise. Strategic flourishing goals goes beyond the canonical sustainability goals of reducing harm, human equity, and maintaining resources for future generations. Flourishing goals push beyond reductive harm and risk measures in operations and treats sustainability as a bolt-on service in enterprises. Through intra- and entrepreneurship and strategic tools students will adopt a strategic planning and flourishing modeling to create an approach for enterprise change towards full-spectrum flourishing.
