business lines.

Technology or Infrastructure.
• An idea could be split between several categories, in
this case pick the most prominent category for the

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.
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.
