Welcome
Boundaryless methodology documentation — the modern approach and the legacy toolkits that inspired it
Boundaryless is a methodology for designing and operating platform-based organizations. This documentation site brings together the current methodology (pipelines, techniques, canvases) and the legacy toolkits that inspired it (PDT, 3EO, Portfolio Map).
Where to start
The modern approach
Pipelines and Techniques — the current way we structure the methodology. Start here if you're beginning a new engagement.
Canvas library
Individual canvas pages with compilation guides. Used across pipelines and toolkits.
Legacy toolkits
The original PDT, 3EO and Portfolio Map toolkits, preserved as historical reference.
What's in this documentation
- Modern approach — The current structure of the methodology: Pipelines (end-to-end strategic paths), composed of Techniques (reusable procedural units), which use one or more Canvases (visual tools).
- Canvas Library — A single page per canvas with compilation guide, sections, examples, and connections to other canvases. Referenced from both pipelines and legacy toolkits.
- Legacy Toolkits — The original Platform Design Toolkit (Exploration, Design, Growth), the 3EO Toolkit, and the Portfolio Map Canvas application guide. Kept as a historical archive and narrative reference.
- Reference — Canvas index with filters, glossary, changelog.
