About this webinar
In this webinar, David Dunning and Dan Dures unpack the critical relationship between accountability and prioritization, showing why you cannot have one without the other. They explore how organizations can move beyond ad-hoc decision-making and spreadsheets to a systematic model that truly connects strategy to delivery.
During the session, David sets the scene by examining the governance and leadership frameworks that support accountability, and why prioritization is essential for empowering people to deliver on strategic goals. Dan then demonstrates how to translate strategy into practical decision criteria, using decision science (including the Analytic Hierarchy Process) to score projects, weigh trade-offs, and create transparency in the portfolio.
Key themes include:
- Why accountability breaks down without clear prioritization of resources and funding.
- How to balance business-as-usual operations with strategic change initiatives.
- Recognizing the warning signs when prioritization isn’t working—conflicting objectives, role confusion, or “loudest voice” decision-making.
- How to score projects against strategic criteria and effort to identify the true value for money.
- Practical approaches to making prioritization systematic, agile, and fair—so teams focus on delivery instead of politics.
Through real-world examples, interactive polls, and decision-science techniques, David and Dan illustrate how to make prioritization a foundation for accountability—empowering leaders to steer strategy with confidence and enabling teams to deliver results without resource battles.
