Maintain inclusive decision making

Making decisions in a way that is fair and unbiased is crucial in the idea prioritization process. It's important to implement strategies that ensure objectivity and inclusiveness, helping to maintain a balanced perspective in decision-making. Here are key strategies to consider:

• Establish clear criteria: Define objective criteria such as feasibility, impact, and goal alignment. Base decisions on these criteria to reduce personal biases.
• Use anonymous voting: Implement anonymous voting methods to make unbiased decisions without singling out individuals.
• Rotate decision-makers: Alternate the decision-maker role among team members to balance perspectives and reduce perceptions of favoritism.
• Focus on future opportunities: Emphasize that ideas not selected now may be ideal for future projects. Keep a ‘parking lot’ of ideas for later consideration, valuing everyone’s contribution.
