    Create a matrix in which each initiative can be evaluated based on a series of criteria, with each criterion assigned a weight. Possible criteria: • Business potential (new revenue, new markets, new competitive advantages) • Risks • Impact on customer experience • Ease and capabilities of adoption by stakeholders (customers, employees, partners, others) • Return on investment • Timeframe for generating results • Complexity (possibility of deconstructing in phases or achieving early successes, evolving and scaling, technologies involved, knowledge and internal capabilities to implement, data availability, regulatory or legal aspects to be considered, etc.) • Resources required (budget, necessary partners or suppliers, training, etc.)

    When your company has too many digital projects, focus on the ones that align with your main goals, like growing revenue or improving customer experience. Look at which projects can deliver the most value quickly and don’t require too many resources. Prioritize quick wins that show results, but don’t forget long-term projects that matter. This way, you can avoid spreading yourself too thin and focus on what really drives success.

    In my experience, another key factor in prioritizing digital projects is considering customer impact. Projects that enhance user experience or solve major pain points tend to yield long-term success. Have you found customer-centric prioritization useful in your projects?

    Prioriza los proyectos que alineen directamente con los objetivos estratégicos de la empresa. Evalúa cada iniciativa según su impacto en el mercado, rentabilidad y capacidad para resolver problemas clave. Un enfoque claro evitará la dispersión y centrará los recursos en lo esencial. Además, analiza la viabilidad y los recursos disponibles. Pregunta: ¿qué proyectos ofrecen resultados rápidos o ventajas competitivas claras? Concentrarse en lo relevante hará que la sobrecarga se convierta en eficiencia. ¡Es hora de tomar decisiones inteligentes!

    What has the most impact on revenue? What has the most impact on the team member experience being able to deliver an outstanding customer solution? Does this have a true return on investment? Is the solution working for other companies in the same manner you were hoping to achieve? Case studies? Does this remove stress from the organization? Does it benefit the wider organization or just a small segment?

    In order to prioritize digital projects well, first evaluate how well they align with your business's strategic objectives. Compare the potential ROI for each project based on financial return and improved operational efficiency. Also, estimate the implementation feasibility by analyzing existing resources and technical capabilities. Involve stakeholders from all departments to obtain holistic viewpoints. This methodical process helps to ensure chosen projects lead to success and contribute to long-term goals.
