Several AI initiatives compete for budget and specialist staff. Your leadership team compares them, allocates resources and reorders the portfolio when conditions change. Keep an editable board with follow-up assignments, owners and dates for further work.
Several AI initiatives compete for the same budgets and specialist staff. In this planned workshop, examine a portfolio in your organisation and compare the initiatives’ expected value, risks and operating consequences. Clarify decision rights, test assumptions and set conditions for approval, safeguards or termination. Role changes bring in objections from technology, business, risk and operations.
Each participant records an individual contribution to the assessment and decision and revises it following feedback. With the appropriate mandate, record the joint portfolio decision; otherwise, prepare a proposal for the responsible body. The result contains prioritised options, reasoning, unresolved questions and a review date. Example cases replace confidential or unavailable documents.
In the case, three initiatives compete for two specialists: one has demonstrated value, one has unresolved data rights and one avoids an operational bottleneck. Compare the options and record resources, conditions and a review date.
