Value Based Project Selection
and Prioritization

Every organization strives to provide clarity of purpose and a sense of direction. A common characteristic of effective and profitable organizations is the proper selection and prioritization of projects. A common characteristic of ineffective organizations is a selection or prioritization process that is random or non-existent.

These projects are typically all "top priority." The clarity of purpose organizations strive for is sometimes clouded by every project and initiative being "top priority." This results in substantially more projects in work than can be reasonably completed in the allocated amount of time or resources, causing delayed delivery of projects that may be of great importance to the organization at the expense of projects that are of less importance.

A root cause for organizations not being able to select and prioritize projects effectively is the inability to establish a sound project selection and prioritization method that achieves buy in from all stakeholders. Stakeholders will have conflicting objectives that may all be valid. Thus buy in from stakeholders is as important as the prioritization method itself and the selection method must be able to take stakeholder biases into account. SEBA^® excels at being able to establish valid project selection and prioritization processes that achieve stakeholder buy in.
