The 120
The Peace Works Capability Framework — 120 capabilities for building, operating, and growing ventures.
The architecture
A common framework for moving work forward.
Businesses are built through many different kinds of work. Strategy alone is not enough. Neither is marketing, technology, finance, talent, or operations in isolation.
The 120 gives Peace Works a common framework for understanding what an opportunity requires and organizing the capabilities needed to move it forward.
