Idea template MYBESTIDEA 1 Please describe your business idea. What problem are you trying to solve? Who are your customers? How will they benefit from your solution? How will they learn about your solution? What are they going to pay? Example: There are THAT MANY people that have a CUSTOMER PROBLEM, when they find themselves in a USE CASE. The customers for MyBestIdea are its USERS, also CLIENTS that will pay me. The biggest potential is in the SEGEMENTS. My idea is to provide them with a SOLUTION in order to give them more BENEFITS. My clients will learn about MyBestIDea through THOSE CHANNELS and pay me a PRICE for it big enough, so that I will be able to cover all my COST, and still make enough PROFIT. And that in a very short TIME! 2 How did you come up with the idea? Why do you know what customers want? 3 How will Allianz benefit from your solution? How does your solution impact the industry? Example: I WORKED in this industry, and KNOW a lot of customers myself. I have DONE this for many years. I have also EXPLORED the customers behavior and gathered RESEARCH data. Example: MyBestIdea is really important because it will help Allianz to GAIN NEW CUSTOMERS, SAVE A LOT OF MONEY, OUTPERFORM THE COMPETITORS, CREATE NEW MARKETS, REVOLUTIONIZE INSURANCE. Only few COMPETITORS do efforts on this TREND yet. 4 What resources do you need in order to develop your idea further? 5 What will you be able to achieve within the next 6 months? What are the major milestones and challenges? What will you test first? Example: I need some TIME to test my assumptions, and some ADVICE on specific PROCESSES. It would really speed up development if I had some more CONTACTS. I also need to INVEST in some TESTS and PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT. Example: In the next 6 months I will VALIDATE my assumptions about the customers problem, DEFINE the business concept and TEST the distribution strategy, I will also DESIGN and TEST a prototype, and EVALUATE the investment need in order to PREPARE for commercialization.
