FM Priorities - Mission Impossible

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: prioritize the priorities.

In FM, we’re often expected to do the impossible. Everything is urgent, everyone needs something, and somehow, we’re expected to make it all happen.

Prioritizing means balancing risk, resources, operational needs, and competing demands—and just when you think you have it figured out, priorities can change.

So how do you complete Mission Impossible? Let’s discuss how to determine what truly comes first, communicate trade-offs, and keep moving when priorities shift.
