Focus resources on priorities

Direct your money, time, employee capacity, and leadership attention toward the priorities that matter most to the business. Consider how initiatives depend on one another and whether the team can realistically carry them out together.

An improvement that enables several other priorities may deserve attention before a more visible project. Decide what to stop, postpone, or simplify so important work receives enough support.

Make these choices visible in budgets, schedules, and assignments. Review commitments when circumstances change, keeping resources concentrated on work that advances the overall strategy.
