PICK Chart

This chart helps sort and prioritize ideas, tasks, or projects based on ease of implementation and potential impact. The chart categorizes ideas based on two critical dimensions: ease of implementation and potential impact.

PICK stands for:

• Possible: Ideas that are relatively easy to implement but have minimal impact.

• Implement: Rare gems that are both easy to execute and promise significant returns or impact.

• Challenge: High-impact, high-difficulty ideas.

• Kill: Ideas that are difficult to implement and have minimal impact.

Instructions

1. Place Ideas on the Chart:

   • Write down your ideas on sticky notes or tabs.

   • Place each idea on the grid based on its payoff (impact) and difficulty levels.

   • Be as definitive as possible—avoid half-placed notes.

2. Evaluate and Prioritize:

   • Ideas in the Implement quadrant are quick wins and should be prioritized.

   • Possible ideas may need refinement or consideration later.

   • Challenge ideas require effort but promise substantial returns.

   • Kill ideas are hard to implement and have minimal impact.
