The power of prioritization is undeniable when it comes to accomplishing objectives. However, many organizations struggle with effective prioritization.  In this engaging session, we will delve into the topic of prioritization, examining approaches, benefits, challenges, and the often-overlooked impact of human nature.

Managers, directors, and executives should attend this session to:  

• Understand the significance of effective prioritization and explore the common challenges that hinder organizations from prioritizing well.  
• Recognize the hidden influence of human nature on prioritization outcomes. Explore the biases that can lead to failures and setbacks.  
• Discover practical strategies and approaches to overcome the challenges posed by human nature and enhance prioritization effectiveness. Engage in discussion, share experiences, and learn from experts on how to navigate through difficult situations and improve decision-making.
