Premise
Ubiquity & technological capability for mobile telecommunication has created unprecedented
opportunities to
1. Improve quality of life
2. Use resources more effectively and efficiently
3. Improve processes and services
4. Create entirely new offerings

Challenge
Identify an important challenge or opportunity facing business or society in a specific part of the
world in which the use of mobile communication and computing technology can either help improve
existing businesses or services (in terms of outcomes, efficiency, or quality) or help create new ones
to serve an unmet need.

Could be for-profit, social, non-profit or government sectors

Also adapt idea from one or more parts of the world for that specific part of the world chosen

Deliverable

Use 2 Slides to present in a compelling and self-contained manner the idea and the evidence
marshalled in support of its (1) usefulness, (2) impact and (3) viability

"Template will be provided for this"

Judging Criteria

Parameter Scoring Considerations Team S5 Approach

Implications

Idea How important is the need Market/ Opportunity size

or problem?
How creative and
innovative is the use of
mobile communication in its
solution?
estimates
Slide 1 - Using at least 3
numbers to highlight the
immediate need to solve the
problem at hand

Viability How compelling is the data Slide 2

or evidence used to
demonstrate the idea's
financial viability,
usefulness, and impact?
Implementation Budget or
Breakeven period before
sustainable organic growth
sets in (based on proxy
measures)
High level operating model for
the solution

Visual Presentation How clear, insightful, Slide 1 - Needs to be a mix of

informative, and creative data-driven and story/narrative
are the two slides? driven description of the
problem

Understanding of context How well does the idea
and complexity reflect an understanding of
the regional context in
which it is set and the
complexity of the problem it
aims to solve?
Mission Focus How well does the idea
reflect Yale SOM's mission
to educate leaders for
business and society?
Slide 2 - Should include the
model, and what successfully
solving the problem looks like
(in some visual manner?)
Slide 1 - At least 2 of the
minimum 3 data-driven points
justifying the severity and
scope of the problem need to
be in frame of the regional
description
Slide 2 - There needs to be
takeaway in Slide 1 that
naturally leads to Slide 2 from
the POV of what happens if
the problem is not solved
(necessitating the solution?)
Slide 2 - List risk factors
needed to be
managed/mitigated
The solution needs to (in
some way) show layers of
impact
Layer 1 - Solves the problem
Layer 2 - Effects on the
organization/enterprise
Layer 3 - Effects on the
community/ society
Layer 4 - At Policy/State level
