Learning objectives :

• Deciding on collective priorities: determining which projects to launch, continue, or discontinue, with a systematic approach and courage
• Set your personal priorities: long-term to maximize your impact, and short-term to make decisions even when everything seems urgent and important

Course :

Session 1: Collective Prioritization
One of the most difficult managerial decisions is not launching a project, but stopping one. This session provides participants with the tools and mindset to evaluate their projects objectively and make clear-headed decisions, even when the decision to stop a project is uncomfortable.

Case Study : Analyze an ongoing project using the question bank, calculate its true opportunity cost, and collectively decide whether it is worth continuing or whether resources would be better invested elsewhere.

Session 2: Individual Prioritization
Individual prioritization has two levels: knowing where to focus your time in terms of your overall objectives (long-term), and knowing what to tackle first when everything seems urgent at the same time (short-term). Participants leave with two complementary matrices to manage these two levels.

Case Study : A series of case studies to help participants establish guidelines for prioritizing among several activities that appear to have the same level of urgency and importance, in order to overcome decision paralysis and make clear, confident choices.
