A decision regarding priorities.
Capital is limited, even when opportunities exist. Allocating it means choosing between competing needs: growth, strengthening capabilities, preserving liquidity, or preparing for the next step. The strategy allows these choices to align with a common intention.
Fit and potential are equally important.
A single initiative can be appealing in its own right, but it may not be suitable for the overall context. Its scope, its management needs, or its exposure can conflict with other priorities. Therefore, it’s advisable to consider the project and the system together.
Making the assumptions explicit.
Every decision is based on a reading of the future. The demand, deadlines, costs, and execution are all assumptions that should be clearly visible. Identifying these allows us to understand what information to seek and when to review the decision.
An address that is open to review.
Having conviction doesn’t require sticking to a plan. Discipline involves maintaining a purpose and reviewing the means when evidence changes. A decision-making framework should include both criteria for moving forward and reasons to stop.
