1. Idea Assessment Canvas

2. What is IAC?
• This canvas help you to evaluate ideas and prioritize solutions for
responding to the challenge.
• It has 3 Business categories and 3 columns of idea contribution. At
the intersection of business line and idea contribution you will find a
classical feasibility / impact matrix.

4. Business Categories
• For each idea you will need to select between 3 business lines.
• Place your idea within the appropriate row. People, Technology or
Infrastructure.
• An idea could be split between several categories, in this case pick the
most prominent category for the particular idea.
• This is not a final categorization as ideas will merge. You may not
border about accountability at this stage.

5. Idea Contribution
• Some ideas would have a fundamental impact towards challenge
resolution other would be incremental.
• The 3 vertical columns help in sorting ideas’ contribution to the
challenge.
• Place fundamental ideas on the right.
• Incremental ideas on the left, those you are not sure on the central
column are substantial ideas.

6. Impact & Feasibility
• Ideas are sorted with respect to Impact and Feasibility.
• Move the idea towards High Impact if you believe that this idea would
have an high impact towards challenge resolution.
• Move the idea towards High Feasibility if you believe that the idea is
easily feasible.
• Ideas that have Low Impact and Low Feasibility are likely to be
discarded.
