CloseSometimes deciding between strategic options is really tough. This matrix can help you weigh up different strategic options to make an informed, objective decision.
If you have a number of potential alternative solutions to a strategic challenge, it can help to set some criteria against which to assess and compare them. Here is one suggestion for decision-making criteria you might use. You could even weight elements and add up a score.
| Criteria | Option 1 | Option 2 etc |
|---|---|---|
|
Fit with Mission, Vision, Values |
||
|
Impact on beneficiary |
||
|
Appropriateness to the culture |
||
|
Impact of change agenda on organisation (structure etc) |
||
|
Your capacity to pursue (consider investment, other effort etc) |
||
|
Level of support for the option (internal and external) |
||
|
Break-even point (in years) |
||

Sustainability (years to receive payback after break even) |
