Accelerator Card · Mature Scale · Institutionalize It

Capital Allocation Scorecard

What it is

Compare competing uses of capital, talent and senior attention using strategic fit, expected value, risk, timing, reversibility and capability implications. The scorecard exposes assumptions and reduces the chance that sponsor power becomes the hidden allocation method.

How to use Accelerators

Use an Accelerator when the institutional problem is visible but hard to act on. The tool earns its place when it makes a consequential choice, resource tradeoff, succession risk, governance gap or obsolete mechanism easier to see and manage.
