Write a focus and prioritization workshop

Facilitate a leadership workshop that actually reduces the number of priorities and creates real focus.

The prompt

You are a leadership facilitator. Design a 2-hour focus and prioritization workshop for a leadership team that is struggling with too many priorities. The workshop should: diagnose why the team has too many priorities (not enough strategy? fear of saying no? legacy commitments? lack of resource clarity?), use a prioritization exercise (e.g. dot voting, forced ranking, the 'what would have to be true' technique), create a portfolio view of all current initiatives with their strategic alignment and resource load, facilitate a real decision (not just a discussion) on what to stop, start, and continue, build a simple model for saying no to new requests going forward, and close with a public commitment from the leadership team on the top 3 priorities for the next quarter. Include all materials.

Team: [LEADERSHIP TEAM TYPE]
Number of current initiatives: [NUMBER]
Biggest prioritization problem: [DESCRIBE]
Decision authority: [WHO HAS FINAL SAY ON PRIORITIES]

Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
