5 Focus Your Efforts - Find Projects That Matter! NORMALISED COST Are we expensive compared to other universities? ACTUAL COST Is the scale of this activity significant? SATISFACTION Are we satisfied with the activity? PROJECT ACTIVITY Are we already doing something about it? UNIVERSITY CHAMPIONS Do our customers think this is important? RETURN ON EFFORT How quickly will the University see benefits?
But Everything is Important What s the Priority? Value vs Complexity Quadrant 1 (quicker wins) High value / lower complexity Quadrant 2 (major projects) High value / higher complexity Quadrant 3 (gap fillers) Lower value / lower complexity Quadrant 4 (hard slogs) Lower value / higher complexity
