Project Evaluation: Selection & Risk Analysis
One of the most important efforts of every management team involves selecting the right initiatives to achieve important business objectives. Selecting those initiatives must be made on the basis of the comparative value and thoroughly considered opportunity costs among creative alternatives. However, management teams face certain perennial problems fulfilling this critical role:
→ Ambiguous objectives about what needs to be achieved and why
→ Lack of creative alternative solutions to achieve those goals
→ Failure to consider the effects of uncertainty on possible solution value in a
comprehensive way without taxing resources by analysis paralysis
