One of the steps in my innovation process, after we ideate and cultivate our opportunities, is we rank them, the leadership team confidentially scores each opportunity, on a scale of 1-10 for feasibility and impact. 

 

Then I create a 4-quadrant, 2 x 2 matrix with the horizontal axis being feasibility and the vertical axis being impact. And I plot out the average scores of each opportunity. 

 

Currently, I'm doing this in workshops and off-site retreats with pen and paper. Each member of the leadership team confidentially scores the opportunities on a one-page chart and hands them back to me. Then, my admin assistant adds up the scores and divides by the number of people in the room and creates average scores and plots out the points on a chart. 

 

Can Miro automate this?

 

Could we have everyone score the opportunities confidentially on the laptop in Miro and then show a chart that can project the average scores on a 2 x 2 matrix on a screen?

 

Hi ​@Colin Maiorano  FWIW I would love to be able to do this as well, so that we could create risk heat maps (probability vs. damage) - I think it would be a heavily used feature in Miro. I’ve thought about writing an app myself - but just other priorities at the moment!


I agree Kenneth. 

I use the  2 x 2 matrix for evaluating opportunities (which I described in my original post) and also in scenario planning when measuring the probability and impact of threats. Most innovation platforms are good at ideation but then require me to manually use my own tools to evaluate, prioritize and decide on options. I find that having open discussions about options get influenced by the CEO too much. Other people in the room watch how the CEO evaluates an option and then are anchored to the CEO’s choices when making their own.
