How can you prioritize your time as a BRM executing a strategic plan?

2 Assess your current state

The next step is to assess your current state and identify the gaps and opportunities between where you are and where you want to be. You should evaluate your current capabilities, resources, processes, and relationships, and determine how they support or hinder your strategic objectives. You should also analyze the external environment and the needs and expectations of your business partners. You can use tools such as the SWOT analysis, the PESTLE analysis, or the Business Model Canvas to conduct a comprehensive assessment of your current state.

3 Prioritize your actions

Once you have identified your strategic objectives and assessed your current state, you can prioritize your actions based on their impact and urgency. You should focus on the actions that have the highest potential to create value for your business partners and the organization, and that address the most critical issues or opportunities. You should also consider the feasibility, cost, and risk of each action, and how they align with your available resources and capabilities. You can use tools such as the Eisenhower Matrix, the MoSCoW method, or the Impact/Effort Matrix to prioritize your actions.

4 Plan your execution

After you have prioritized your actions, you can plan your execution and set realistic and measurable goals and milestones. You should define the scope, budget, timeline, and deliverables of each action, and assign roles and responsibilities to yourself and your team members. You should also establish clear communication channels and feedback mechanisms with your business partners and other stakeholders, and ensure that they are engaged and informed throughout the execution process. You can use tools such as the SMART criteria, the RACI matrix, or the Gantt chart to plan your execution.

5 Monitor and adjust

The final step is to monitor and adjust your execution and evaluate your progress and performance. You should track and measure the outcomes and benefits of each action, and compare them with your expected goals and milestones. You should also collect and analyze feedback from your business partners and other stakeholders, and identify any issues, risks, or changes that may affect your execution. You should be flexible and adaptable, and make necessary adjustments to your actions, plans, or priorities as needed. You can use tools such as the KPI dashboard, the Balanced Scorecard, or the PDCA cycle to monitor and adjust your execution.
