Strategic initiatives typically require further
investigation beyond that undertaken in the
assessment phase (“complex”) initiatives
Initiatives closer to the top right of the
matrix provide high returns for relatively
low effort and are prioritized
The resulting matrix illustrates each
initiative’s return on effort relative to other
initiatives
Quick wins are implemented immediately
Initiatives are ranked based on ease of
