Let's consider a situation where the Public Value Canvas is used to analyze and address a complex challenge. In this context, the actor and their team are working on behalf of an agency providing refuge to Syrian asylum seekers in a particular country in the European Union. The team is up against a lack of readily-available resources for the influx of refugees, as well as dealing with government naysayers who have competing views on the costs and benefits of Syrian relocation to their country.

The team must logically approach their next steps to ensure that their envisioned future comes to life, and to assure that no matter how many asylum seekers arrive in the country - no one will have to sleep outside!
