Competitor Benchmarking: Evaluate peer performance on pricing, features, delivery, and customer satisfaction to set realistic targets.
SWOT & PESTLE Frameworks: Facilitate workshops to map strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, along with political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental factors.
Internal Capability Assessment: Measure your organization’s processes, skills, and resources against best-in-class standards to uncover gaps.

Weighted Scoring for Project Selection

Ensure your portfolio reflects your highest-value initiatives by transparently scoring each project against strategic criteria.

Criteria Definition Workshops: Collaborate with leadership to define and weight factors like strategic alignment, expected ROI, risk, and resource availability.
Custom Scoring Models: Build Excel, Power BI, or bespoke scoring tools that calculate normalized scores, enabling objective comparisons across projects.
Stakeholder Consensus Sessions: Facilitate interactive sessions where executives and key sponsors validate weights and scores, fostering alignment and buy-in.
Dynamic Prioritization Dashboards: Integrate scoring models into live dashboards for real-time what-if analyses, letting you see how changes in criteria impact your portfolio.

By adopting a transparent, data-driven scoring process, organizations reduce bias, accelerate investment decisions, and ensure resources flow to the most impactful projects.
