The maturation tree of inclusive shared value (MTISV), a diagnostic framework for industry application. Illustration in the Rwanda’s coffee industry

Purpose This study aims to introduce the Maturation Tree of Inclusive Shared Value (MTISV) and its accompanying Diagnostics and Enablement Framework as tools for analysing and advancing the maturation of inclusive shared value. It also aims to enhance understanding of how economic and social connectedness can be fostered through producer-centred, context-sensitive design. Design/methodology/approach Using an abductive qualitative design, interview data from Rwanda’s coffee industry are synthesised into the MTISV diagnostic model which visualises the interrelations and maturity levels of contingent elements. Findings The analysis reveals how contingent factors, paradoxes and feedback loops influence the simultaneity of economic and social development. The resulting Diagnostics and Enablement Framework provides a transferable approach for identifying enablers and inhibitors of functionality, prioritising interventions and tracking progress towards inclusive and sustainable prosperity. Originality/value Departing from the conventional Creating Shared Value (CSV) paradigm, this study offers a contingent, empirically grounded model that places producers and communities at the centre of shared value creation. It contributes a replicable diagnostic logic for assessing and guiding the maturation of shared value within complex socio-economic systems.
