It leased the machines at $95 per month, including 2,000 free copies, plus five cents per additional copy. Clients acquired the new machines and started making thousands of copies each month.

Criteria Selection

Key question: What are the most important criteria for prioritizing our business model ideas? After expanding the range of possible solutions, the team should define criteria for reducing the number of ideas to a manageable few. The criteria will be specific to the context of your business, but could include things such as estimated implementation time, revenue potential, possible customer resistance, and impact on competitive advantage.

Prototyping

Key question: What does the complete business model for each shortlisted idea look like? With criteria defined, the team should be able to reduce the number of ideas to a prioritized shortlist of three to five potential business model innovations. Use the Business Model Canvas to sketch out and discuss each idea as a business model prototype (see p. 160)

Expanding

Key question: What innovations can we imagine for each business model building block? During this phase the team expands the range of possible solutions, aiming to generate as many ideas as possible. Each of the nine business model building blocks can serve as a starting point. The goal of this phase is quantity, not quality. Enforcing brainstorming rules will keep people focused on generating ideas rather than on critiquing too early in the process (see p. 144)

Immersion

Key question: Which elements must we study before generating business model ideas? Ideally the team should go through an immersion phase. which could include general research, studying customers or prospects, scrutinizing new technologies, or assessing existing business models. Immersion could last several weeks or could be as short as a couple of workshop exercises (e.g. the Empathy Map).
