Before using the Sage’s Navigation power, it is often useful to apply an objective filter to narrow down the choices to a manageable few. A two-dimensional matrix is often helpful for this stage. To construct the matrix, you would determine the top two most important objective criteria or metrics for making your choice. In Frank’s case, his team decided the criteria should be the cost of implementation and the projected impact. This helped narrow down the number of ideas to five that were high on impact and relatively low in cost of implementation. They consulted their Navigation compass to
