Step 01

Secure Stakeholder Engagement 

Great deployments start with a commitment to delivering change, from senior leaders to subject matter experts. But good news… this is a lot more fun than your normal planning process.

Step 02

Build an AHP Model 

Decompose your goals into criteria using AHP best practice, then complete a pairwise review to quantify relative importance. Built-in algorithms generate a policy framework against which competing projects will be scored.

Step 03

Collect Data

Combine qualitative and quantitative data to complete scoring. Surveys, data import, automated notifications, custom forms, and a dynamic Kanban make this process simple. This approach will give you a high quality, low noise, low bias model.

Step 04

Deliver Results

All projects are now systematically quantified, so it’s time to drive value from the data. Overlay cost to generate an efficient frontier, create resource buckets to optimise capacity and generate easy to read reports to keep folks in the loop.

Why TransparentChoice?

Reduce Noise and Bias, Increase Impact

TransparentChoice helps reduce noise and bias in the data that you use when selecting projects.

 

Scoring projects against your strategic goals is tricky. It involves making judgements about the impact of each project against each criterion... and these judgements are undermined by random noise and blind-spots.

 

TransparentChoice software supports a process designed to help reduce noise and bias in these judgements through collaborative scoring. This approach was recently set out in a book by Nobel Laureate, Daniel Kahneman as a great way to improve your data quality.
