Effective prioritization disciplines and practices help the management dig through the real issues that need to be addressed, or the real causes of changes.

There are lots of things going on in the business today; organizational management short-sightedness and running the business in a transactional mode only can cause ineffectiveness in the long run. Prioritization forces us to become more active in creative activities and provide a focused approach to solve real business problems effectively.

 The guiding vision and mission should dictate the focus and set out the proper order of priorities of the organization. Insightful business management pivots between the external and internal drivers, frames a systematic strategic change agenda that addresses all the corporate priorities, reaps some quick wins and also focuses on the long-term strategic goal of the business appropriately.

Prioritization helps to focus the core strategy of the organization: Prioritization has huge benefits in terms of strategy execution for achieving high performance results; it is also a sort of “balance” skill, to know when to take the gas pedal to harness change and when to take the brake to control the risks. Role conflict or differing priority is often the cause of misalignment. By setting the strategic priority, the key business success factors such as people, process, technology, can be assigned scientifically, to make sure that the company can manage people, assets, and resources to meet the business goals efficiently.

The symptom in some ineffective organizations is that people keep their hands busy, but they are not motivated to think about the long term and they cannot connect the right dots between their career goals or performance and the organizational performance from a long term perspective. The problem is that often the top managers haven’t done enough to set the right priority and communicate the strategic goals thoroughly with employees. High performance companies embed prioritization mechanisms into business management, strike the right balance between increasing productivity and encouraging innovation; between setting the standard and letting “out-of-the-box” thinking flow, integrate processes seamlessly to unlock business performance smoothly.

Prioritization is an important perspective for building a solid business initiative program portfolio: Organizations have limited resources, talent pool, budgets, many businesses took a big bite of resources to keep the lights on, only leaving very little for doing innovation and accelerating business growth. Often, resource management becomes a bottleneck for long term business success. An effective resource allocation scenario helps take advantage of resources effectively, set the right priority, optimize cost, keep the process transparent, and manage a well-rounded business initiative portfolio effectively and efficiently. Rebalancing resources helps the organization take advantage of resources effectively, optimize cost, capture collective insight, in order to harmonize and move forward.

There are both tangible and intangible factors in program management, set the priority right, look forward and proactively position the business in the right place to take full advantage of opportunities, optimize organizational processes, and build dynamic business capabilities to enable strategy management. For leading organizations, corporate risk management is already an integral compe­tency and top priority for C-Suite executives, providing them a holistic process for connecting the dots on risk across the orga­nizations, making integration of corporate risk management into enterprise program and performance management for achieving the vision and mission of the company.

Set the right priority to solve the most critical problems, to improve the overall problem-solving effectiveness:
Running a business is an iterative problem solving continuum. The emphasis of structural and logical problem-solving is in doing better pre-work such as defining the situation and the success criteria. The more patterns you discover, the more alternative solutions could emerge. To diagnose the root cause of problems, broaden people’s perspectives on how to set the right priority, align talent and resources, validate and select the cohesive solution to solve the problem creatively.

The problem is that often the top managers haven’t done enough to set the right priority and communicate the strategic goals thoroughly with employees. To deal with complex problems at the strategic level, business leaders need to check around, ask thought-provoking questions. As you shouldn’t do things which cannot add business value or increase customer satisfaction. There is more flow of creative ideas, the more patterns you discover; the more alternative solutions could emerge. Managing a seamless digital continuum means to set the right priority, make a progressive journey and implement whatever mechanisms you need to be able to gather information for managing risks, and improving business agility.

 Effective prioritization disciplines and practices help the management dig through the real issues that need to be addressed, or the real causes of changes, have the ability to dispassionately examine circumstances via fact finding, analysis, structured planning, objective evaluations, and comparison; be able to accommodate the fact that all organizations operate simultaneously as open and closed systems, keep the business priority in balance, and improve the overall organizational maturity.
