Why your current prioritisation is apple v pears, with Glenn Smith

Many organisations still find prioritisation can be one of the most challenging things to do well. Even if your maturity has moved away from the HiPPO (Highest Paid Person’s Opinion), you may struggle comparing ideas if they deliver different types of benefits, often still relying on gut than anything based on reasoning.

In this session, we will explore the Cost of Delay model as a way of being able to compare numerically the benefits and urgency of ideas, even those that you think can not have a number added to it. You will be introduced to the concepts and it’s practical application in the workplace before rolling your sleeves up and calculating a delay cost yourself.
