About this webinar
Project backlogs are easy to collect, but turning those backlogs into true business strategy is where most organizations struggle. This webinar explores how Business Integrated Governance (BIG) provides a practical framework to connect purpose, strategy, and delivery — and how prioritization sits at the heart of that transformation.
At TransparentChoice, we love BIG because it recognizes the reality of modern organizations as organic, complex entities. They need structure, but not a straight-jacket model lifted from a consultant’s playbook. BIG offers a series of connected best practices allied to a culture of personal accountability, and prioritization is a fantastic place to begin.
Done well, prioritization is the oil that keeps governance moving smoothly. It enables accountability by making clear who gets investment and who must make do, translates broad intent into unambiguous jobs to be done, and provides the foundation for measuring impact once projects are underway. With BIG, prioritization stops being a horse-trading exercise and becomes a systematic, strategy-led process for delivering growth and value.
Of course, fixing prioritization is not rocket science. The root cause of poor prioritization is often behavioral, so the solution must be people-oriented. That’s why our approach blends decision science with practical tools to organize chaos, democratize decision-making, and build buy-in. By creating trust in the data, organizations can confidently say “no” to low-value work and focus on what matters most.
We’ll also discuss the EPMO — the enterprise-level PMO that goes beyond delivering a portfolio to enabling organizational outcomes. Here, prioritization plays an even bigger role: supporting strategic planning, breaking down silos, and enabling resources to move where value is highest, not where politics is strongest.
So, whether you’re a PMO in need of stronger prioritization, an EPMO driving enterprise alignment, or a leader ready to shake off old ways of working, this webinar will show you why prioritization is the first step toward more robust governance and strategy-led performance.
