At any rate, it's worth mentioning the use of selection criteria. Written criteria can be reviewed at the start of each selection meeting to refresh everyone's memory regarding which are most important in determining which projects to take on, and to allow comments on potential changes/improvements to the criteria themselves. Having written criteria is nice too in that it keeps everyone on the same page with respect to the common goal. You still have to role based conflict (a good thing, I agree) to drive needed debate and follow on research. Good luck. Hi Michael,

And also add not selected projects to the wishlist register, maybe in a month or two you or the market will be ready for those ideas. Construct a wishlist of potential projects.

You covered just about all of it. Unfortunately, this happens more often than it should and it is virtually impossible to recover when it does. Michael, this was well-said.

I will also add: conduct several project selection meetings which are not aligned and managed by the same body- cause to resources over allocation, different cost estimation models and so.
