Generate Alternatives Brainstorm and list all possible solutions. Engage your leadership team and other stakeholders to ensure a comprehensive set of alternatives.
Evaluate Alternatives Assess each option based on relevant criteria such as cost, feasibility, impact, and alignment with organizational objectives. Tools like SWOT analysis and cost-benefit analysis can be particularly useful here.
Select the Best Alternative Choose the most viable option based on the evaluation. Ensure that the selected alternative aligns with the organization's vision and long-term strategy.
