Problem

The Saratoga For Justice organization was having trouble prioritizing the most important tasks to accomplish their mission. 

Solution

We took them through a lightning decision session to understand their challenges and prioritize what are the most important goals in the immediate future. 

 

We listed the top positives and negatives the organization was dealing with.

We voted on what leading challenges were, then reframed them into a “how might we” opportunities to ideate solutions to.

We posted all our ideas on how we might alleviate burnout within the organization. We voted on the top 3 solutions.
