A framework for prioritizing organizational learning
The Prioritization Lens.
A way of asking which learning questions deserve an organization's time, attention, and investment — and which can wait.
A learning question rendered as a profile across four dimensions, rather than reduced to a single score.
Strategic Relevance
How central is this question to the direction the organization is trying to move in — and to the decisions leadership is actually facing?
Evidence Value
What would answering this question contribute to the wider evidence base — and to those positioned to use it: ministries, donors, partners, peers?
Decision Proximity
How close is the answer to a real decision someone is preparing to make? A question without a decision behind it is rarely worth pursuing first.
Organizational Fit
Is this organization uniquely positioned to answer this question well — or is someone else better placed to do it and share what they find?
