It is often helpful to clearly communicate to stakeholders that the change may take more time to achieve due to difficulty. If the change falls into this category but scores lower on impact (closer to the middle of the page), the change may not be worth pursuing at this point in time.  \nFill Ins: easier to implement, lower impact.  \nA change in this category requires careful consideration on whether it is worth the time and energy to pursue. If a “quick win” is needed and the change is relatively easy to accomplish, it may be worthwhile to proceed. Alternatively, if the change is determined to be more difficult to implement (closer to the middle of the page), then it likely isn’t worth implementing.  \nHard slogs: more difficult to implement, lower impact.  \nTypically, a change in this category should not be implemented due its difficulty and low impact.","cbCaipg3wcvcUx1D","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipg3wcvcUx1D","pdf",139232,"English","# Impact\n## Impact Matrix\n## Matrix Categories and Guidance\n### Quick Wins\n### Major Projects\n### Fill Ins\n### Hard Slogs\n## Difficulty and Scoring","[{\"question\":\"What does the Impact Matrix measure?\",\"answer\":\"It measures two factors: the impact a change will have on the stated aims/goals and the difficulty of implementing the change.\"},{\"question\":\"How do you decide between Quick Wins and Major Projects?\",\"answer\":\"Choose Quick Wins when implementation is easier and impact is higher.
