Prioritization of Programs

Abstract

I'm going to restrict my discussion today to the problem of generating an order, a buy, both within a sponsor group and between sponsor groups. How do you rank-order a set of programs in the most cost-effective manner? We use computer models. We use a procedure called triangulation, which means that we ask the same question different ways, with the aim of finding inconsistencies. We then focus discussion on these inconsistent answers so that the participants can understand why the differences are what they are, and thereby clear up knowledge gaps on the way to effective prioritization.
