Your Team Has 12 Tech Ideas. You Have Budget for 2. Now What?

Learn how to identify and prioritize high-value distributor projects—differentiate symptoms from real problems, build a financial case, and use an impact vs. complexity matrix to spot quick wins and strategic investments.

Watch This Workshop

What You’ll Learn In this workshop, you’ll learn how to identify and prioritize high-value distributor projects. We’ll cover how to differentiate between symptoms and real problems to secure funding, build a solid financial case, and use an impact vs. complexity matrix to spot quick wins and strategic investments. You’ll also discover how to craft a compelling one-page pitch to get your projects approved by leadership.

Key Takeaways
  • A scored project list — 31 common distributor projects rated by severity for your specific business, with your top 3 priorities identified
  • Problem statements, not symptoms — each priority translated from a vague feeling into a specific, quantified if-then statement
  • A financial range — conservative, moderate, and aggressive impact estimates for each priority project
  • A priority matrix and one-page executive pitch. The matrix plots your projects by impact and complexity, clarifying the optimal sequence. The pitch outlines the problem, opportunity, risk, timeline, and recommended next steps, creating a leadership-ready proposal.
Who It’s For

This workshop is designed for mid-market distributors (fastener, industrial, MRO, and wholesale) with $15M to $160M in annual revenue. It’s ideal for:

  • Owners and CEOs seeking a structured way to evaluate tech investments.
  • Operations, pricing, and supply chain leaders who need a business case for change.
  • Finance leaders wanting a framework to evaluate the ROI of tech projects.

If your company has more problems than budget—and more ideas than time to evaluate them—this session is for you.
