Describe your idea in 4 or 5 slides max

Everyone needs to understand the primary business drivers motivating/guiding the development your idea: NABC

Need What is the important customer and market need?

Where is the pain ? Antibiotic, aspirin or vitamin?

Approach What is your unique approach for addressing this need?

Benefits What are the benefits (per cost) from this approach?

Better, faster, cheaper Competition

How are those benefits superior to the competition and the alternatives? Do a full state-of-the-art analysis

NABC example – Video on demand value proposition

Need Movie rental is a 500 Mio Euro business. The part people dislike is to return

tapes and late fees. Approach

We will provide VOD via the cable system with access to all the tittles of MovieMAX. The system uses existing channels and hardware. Customers need no new investments and pay the same price for a movie as in the rental shop.

Benefits End-user: no need to return movies; no more late fees. Same functions as

with a DVD player: fast forward, trailers, ..etc. Customer: Higher revenue per movie with higher margin; 20% market share

expected. Competition

Competition : we have patented the distribution and VCR like features for VOD

alternatives : Netflix et al. -> on-line rentals have higher handling costs (0.75 Euro per movie). Sending the tape back is as inconvenient as returning it.
