The document provides guidance on how to evaluate opportunities strategically using a framework for strategic planning and decision making. It recommends conducting a SWOT analysis to identify internal and external opportunities. It then advocates using several "rules" to prioritize opportunities, including a priority rule, timing rule, boundary rule, and how-to rule. The document also recommends a paired comparison analysis technique to further evaluate the top 3-5 opportunities, where each is compared to the others to assign a percentage of importance. This process aims to clearly identify the most important opportunities for an organization to focus its limited resources.
