NEIL PRIOR CONSULTING

So i was going through my Laptop "Attic" the other day - looking for some consulting materials I worked on a few years back that could prove useful to some current clients.

​

Thought I would share it with you all - heres the background

​

I took on a client that needed me to literally look at over 200 business ideas for their organisation (accumulated over a 2 year period of brainstorming internally)

​

They had a funding window and wanted to get some of them approved - pronto !

Well i hauled something together quickly that allowed a small Team to sift through every one of those studies and find us the main candidates to then perform much more due diligence, feasibility studies and deeper business cases.

​

It was a crazy few weeks....we ate slept and breathed this matrix as we scored each idea (and many were quite complex)

​

In the end we got those 200 down to about 10...and as part of those I must admit 3 were brand new ideas I threw into the mix based on my own review and perspective of what this Organisations SWOT etc really was .....and where the true potential was for business growth.

​

It was brutal and many feathers got ruffled - right up to the top of the organisation                                (why has my idea been rejected ?)

​

But thats just the way it is we have to challenge one another to ensure we get the best results and outcomes ...for me 2 people in a room consistently saying the same things and agreeing all the time is wasting a spot at the table ! ....create teams with different points of view to ensure some real debate and deliberation is going into those decisions....but thats perhaps another story for another time.....

​

Anyway I hope its useful .....ignore some of the ££ valuations in there ...that was just as a marker for the organisation I was working with at the time.
