Step-by-step framework to generate business ideas and prioritize them
Many people believe that they will never be able to create their own business because they think that they are not creative enough to
generate good business ideas. Well, the good news is that you do not really need to be creative to generate good business ideas. All you
need to be is methodical, by following these 5 simple steps:
1. Identify problems (or unfulfilled needs) that you or someone else face. Every week, you should witness multiple problems that
you or someone else face. All you need to do is to write them on our “Business Idea Generator” Excel sheet.
2. Describe the current solution (if any) to this problem (or unfulfilled need). If there are already great solutions delivered by many
great companies, it is probably wise to go directly to your next problem to solve.
3. Describe your potential solution to this problem (or unfulfilled need). The solution is usually a product or service that would
solve the problem. If there is already a current solution, your potential solution should emphasize a unique selling proposition that
make your product/service better, or at least different.
4. Rate your solution by using these 4 criteria:
• Feasibility
• Desirability
• Viability
• Personal interest
5. Prioritize the business idea that has the best score.
To easily implement these 5 steps, you will need to use the Excel document “Business idea generator and prioritization”. Whereas the step 1 can be
done daily, (or whenever you witness a problem during your day), the step 2, 3, 4 and 5 are usually done once a month.

We recommend the use of 4 criteria to rate and prioritize your business
ideas
Desirability
Viability Feasibility
What is the potential
demand for this
product or service?
What is the
feasibility to
deliver this product
or service?
What would be
the profitability
of this business
idea?
What is your level of
interest in trying to
solve this problem?

interest

What is the purpose of a Business Model Canvas?
A Business Model describes the rationale of how an organization creates, delivers and captures value.
A Business Model Canvas is a strategic management and lean tool that will help you develop new business models or
improve existing ones. It includes 9 building blocks, which were initially proposed in 2005 by Alexander Osterwalder:
1. Key Partners
2. Key Activities
3. Key Resources
4. Value Propositions
5. Customer Relationships
6. Channels
7. Customer Segments
8. Cost Structure
9. Revenue Stream
Feasibility: Can the company deliver its products & services?
Desirability: Is there a customer demand for the company’s products & services?
Viability: Can the company be profitable?

15
Best practices to effectively use the Business
Model Canvas
When we use the Business Model Canvas with our clients, we usually like to organize workshops with key stakeholders.
The most common mistake we’ve noticed over the years is when a CEO only invites the Corporate & Business Strategy
team to the workshops. The stakeholders need to come from different functions such as Corporate & Business Strategy,
Finance, Sales, Marketing, etc. That way your Business Model will be designed or refined based on many different
perspectives. Besides, the different functions will feel better engaged. And the more they feel engaged, the better they
will commit to the implementation of the Business Model.
We usually print on the wall a version of the Business Model Canvas (see next slide) in extra large (e.g. A1), so groups of
people can jointly start sketching and discussing business model elements with post-it notes or board markers. Many of
our clients also like to simply project the Business Model Canvas on a big screen using Powepoint, with one person
responsible for writing the stakeholders’ inputs in real time. When available, we also like to use an interactive display
whiteboard such as Google Jamboard. Interactive display whiteboards are great tools, especially when you have
stakeholders attending your workshop online, which seems to be increasingly the case.
Please note that defining your business model should be an iterative process, that will be refined along the way. The first
version of your business model will include many hypotheses. The idea is to test these hypotheses in order to quickly
validate or invalidate these hypotheses. Start by testing the most critical hypotheses.

Business Model Canvas
Tutorial
Key Partners
• List the key partners that will
help you optimize your
operations, reduce your risks,
and get a competitive
advantage.
Value Propositions
• Define the problem you are
trying to solve, or the needs you
are trying to meet.
• List the products and services
you offer to solve the problem
or meet the needs of your
customers.
• Also include in this section your
unique selling proposition
(USP) that will distinguish you
from your competitors.
Key Activities
• List the most important
activities required to implement
the company's value
proposition.
Customer Relationships
• Identify the type of relationship
you want to create with your
customer segments. How will
you interact with them?
Cost Structure
• Estimate how much you are planning to spend on Product development, Marketing,
Sales, Website design & development, etc.
Revenue Stream
• Estimate how much you are planning to earn from your different sources of revenue.
• Estimate your earnings based on your costs and revenues.
Customer Segments
• Identify which customers you
try to serve (e.g. age, gender,
location, interests, languages,
habits, etc.).
Key Resources
• List the resources that are
necessary to create value for
your customers. These
resources could be human,
financial, physical and
intellectual.
Channels
• List the different channels you
will be using to deliver your
value proposition to your
targeted customers. An
organization can reach its
clients through its own
channels, partner channels, or
a combination of both.

Product name Key Customer Benefits Key Features Unique Selling Proposition (USP)
Insert the name

A Product Benefit is what the user
gets from the product rather than its
physical characteristics or features
Features mean the characteristics
by which products are identified and
differentiated. It usually comprises
shapes, colors, functions and uses
It defines your company’s unique
position in the marketplace. It is an
often overlooked but very important
element of creating a business that
customers love. A strong unique
selling proposition allows you to
stand apart from competitors and
actively focus your energy on
creating things that cater to your
ideal group of customers
