What are the relationships between "Impact Mapping" and "Business model canvas"?

What are the relationships between "Impact Mapping" and "Business model canvas"?

Is it possible to derive the business model from the impact mapping?

Is it possible to effectively apply impact mapping without a clear business model?

Are two independent models that complement each other?

Thanks

take this with some reservation because I've not used business model canvas extensively. my understanding is that business model canvas gives you an overall shared understanding of a long-term vision, with some idea around your key stakeholders, partners and activities. from that canvas, you should be able to identify some key assumptions to validate, and key initial milestones. each of those initial milestones would then potentially become a center of an impact map, where you can detail how it leads to deliverables, and list impacts that would lead to that outcome.

so if you want to combine them, i'd suggest doing the business model canvas first, figuring out the next milestone (3-6 months) from that canvas, and then mapping it out.

Thanks for the reply!
This confirmed my assumptions about the need to have a clear business model before applying impact mapping.
