👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 ABOUT THE CREATOR

Benjamin Richy (Linkedin) is an experienced workshop facilitator and trainer for innovation and service design methods, especially in the healthcare industry.

Previously, he worked 20 years in the software industry as a CRM consultant before discovering that being customer-oriented is not enough! Being more human-centric is crucial to succeed in any business.

He helps organizations to manage multi-disciplinary teams on complex projects by mixing service strategy, brand experience, user experience, and…employee experience.

Benjamin fell in love with a lot of methods: Lean UX, Design Thinking, Design Sprint, and LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®. But he does not forget that these methods are only powerful tools, if they really deliver value to organizations, customers and users.

👩‍🏫 FRAMEWORK INSTRUCTIONS

WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE ?

We sort and analyse a bunch of solutions / projets / items to really understand which ones are potentially quick wins with a strong ROI, which ones are great but rather complex and risky, which one are irrelevant or not really worth it.

This activity should help to clarify and align the group in order to decide which solutions or projects offer the best value.

WHY ARE WE IN ?

Each member has his/her own vision and opinion of the best solution. This analysis forces the group to be more objective in defining its priorities. This is a great way of ensuring effective discussions and alignment. Plus, it allows visual management of the content.

HOW DO WE RUN IT ?

A. REVIEW

Start by reviewing all the material you have as an input. Here we are talking about solutions to be prioritized but they can be a set of ideas, concepts, product functionalities or services components. It's a good idea to start with 9 to 12 solutions.

B. ANALYSIS

Please don't dive in too quickly, it's important to proceed in 2 stages :

1. Use the EFFORT AXIS first : 
Place each solution on the EFFORT axis, estimating this effort with the group. Clarify what the term “effort” means to you if any questions arise. Slide the solutions horizontally to estimate the effort required to develop, implement or deploy each solution.
2. Use the VALUE AXIS now : 
Move each solution vertically to estimate the VALUE (or impact) for the user, the customer, the organisation, etc. Discuss with the group whether it is necessary to refine the position of an element or change it radically.

C. OUTCOME

It's time again to open the discussion and rearrange the elements if necessary to make the position of each solution on the matrix consistent. Take into account the distance between the solutions on the matrix. 
Then, extract the most relevant solutions and place them in column C.
