For companies and organizations to survive, they need to prioritize. But to thrive, their priorities must mesh like gears to synchronize the work that teams are planning and doing so they can make progress consistently and predictably. Those teams, in turn, must be composed of individual contributors and front-line managers who are tightly aligned, laser-focused, and exceptionally productive. Prioritizing prioritization helps ensure that an organization focuses on the right projects, programs, and products (or services) to take effective action. Getting this right means following a proven process and selecting the right tools. DEGAP may provide the process model. A method like the Max Priorities Framework may be perfect for prioritizing in the context of an entrepreneurial challenge. But how should we consider all the other frameworks, sorting techniques, marketplace simulations, and hybrid methods? Join Harry Hax and Jason Tanner to discuss.
