The Evolutionary Path to Collective Impact: The Heart of RoundMap®

The RoundMap® framework is not a static construct but a living, evolving journey—constantly refining and expanding. Edwin Korver began constructing the framework as a personal quest to enhance customers’ lives. Yet, it quickly became evident that focusing on customers alone could not realize a genuine impact. He recognized the necessity of embracing a broader perspective that includes all stakeholders’ interconnected interests.

Recently, he has begun articulating this vision through a new lens, which he believes captures the essence of honoring these diverse interests. He calls it IMPACT-FIRST—a guiding principle that, at its core, seeks to maximize positive outcomes while vigilantly preventing harm. By placing impact at the forefront of our actions, we can create business environments that are not only sustainable but also thrive on collective success.

This approach demands a paradigm shift—a transformation in how we lead, manage, and collaborate. It challenges us to reimagine our roles and responsibilities, moving beyond traditional silos to foster an ecosystem where every action contributes to a greater purpose. This is the heart of RoundMap®—a commitment to holistic, stakeholder-driven leadership that empowers organizations to adapt and flourish in a complex, interconnected world.

Please join our community and help us shape the future of sustainable, impactful business. Together, we can make a difference.

Value Centricity: A Viability Model for Business and Society

Let’s return to one of RoundMap’s foundations: the Business Model Matrix. Within it, I originally identified four foundational business models: Customer Centricity, Product Centricity, Resource Centricity, and Platform Centricity. At the time, these felt fundamental—not just to how companies operate,
