Ep 54 - The Balancing Act: Prioritising Strategic and Operational Workload


Listen Later

If you struggle to get to the strategic stuff you want to work on because the operational workload you're facing is getting in the way, the traditional urgent / important matrix is probably not cutting it

In this week's episode we explore a simple alternative that can make a big difference when it comes to getting strategic work ticked off

Key points from this episode

  • The drawbacks of the Important / Urgent matrix for prioritisation
  • The Effort / Impact matrix as an alternative framework
  • Prioritising when you're new into role
  • A practical exercise when you need to gain some momentum with progress on strategic work
  • Prioritising team workload
