How to check whether your idea is profitable
Before you implement a new idea at your firm, you need to know if it’ll help drive profits. This e-book includes the models you need to quickly look at costs, revenue streams, and more to determine if you have a viable business idea.
The Legal Innovation Canvas
The Legal Innovation Canvas is a visual tool that asks hard questions of your new ideas. Based on the Business Model Canvas created by Alex Osterwalder of Strategyzer, the Legal Innovation Canvas forces you to consider who these new potential services are really for, what value they provide, whether there’s product-market fit, and how you’ll deliver them in a cost-effective way. These questions will put your ideas to the test to better define market demand, determine workable value propositions, and confirm your firm’s ability to deliver on its promises.
