This tool helps you generate ideas and examine them. During the exercise, possible actions are mapped based on two factors: the effort required to implement and the potential impact.<\/p>

Some ideas are costly but may have a bigger long-term payoff than short-term actions. Categorising ideas along these lines is a useful technique in decision making, as it obliges contributors to balance and evaluate suggested actions before committing to them.\u00a0<\/p>

The canvas will help those at the outset of a project looking to evaluate ideas to understand the pathway and viability of an idea or ideas.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
