We prioritised the implementation of strategic initiatives based on their relative level of investment and positive impact for customers.
The prioritisation matrix is a tool for determining where change efforts should be allocated and in what order. However, it’s important to remember that all the initiatives presented here are worthy of being carried forward and important for Council to succeed in its Strategy.
Initiatives that are high impact and low investment should be pursued and completed within the first 1-2 horizons.
Initiatives that are high impact but also higher investment generally require more planning but should also be prioritised to commence within the first 1-2 horizons.
Initiatives that are low investment but also low impact should be pursued if there is room between the quick wins and big wins.
Finally, initiatives that are low impact and high investment should occur after the other initiatives are successfully underway.
