A better and simpler way to set your strategic priorities.
In a workshop setting you can assess each project using three indpendent factors: objectives/goals, timing and resources and people.
Each priority is assigned to one of three categories based on those variable factors - the categories are:
1. Critical - objective and time are fixed, resources will have to flex
2. Important - objective and time may have to flex, resources are fixed
3. Desirable - objective is fixed, but time and resources may have to flex
This board takes this concept and represents it in a visual and collaborative way, so with your team you can define and categorize each initiative and then allocate resources together, removing the arbitrary ranking of priorities, subjective opinion and conflict.
This concept is explored in more detail in an HBR article by Derek Lidow.
