Common Good Matrix slider

The Common Good Matrix is a model for the organizational development and evaluation of entrepreneurial as well as charitable activities. It assesses and scores the contribution to the common good. The values shown in the columns are those which promote successful relationships and a good life. The rows reflect the five stakeholder groups which an organization has most contact with. In the intersections between the values and the stakeholder groups, 20 common good themes describe and evaluate an organization’s contribution to the common good.
