We’re excited to invite you to an upcoming HiveEngage session with HiveMind expert Helen Beckford, who will be sharing practical, battle-tested approaches to solving one of the most common organisational challenges: too much demand and not enough clarity.
When everything feels urgent, nothing moves efficiently — and teams quickly lose focus, momentum and governance. Helen’s session will give you the tools, structure and confidence to regain control.
When teams treat all work as high priority, delivery slows, governance weakens and strategic alignment disappears. This session introduces a clear, low-overhead demand management method designed specifically for scale-ups and mid-market organisations.
⭐ What We’ll Cover
Helen will walk through four practical steps to help you bring structure and discipline to organisational demand:
- Controlled intake & shaping of new work
- Strategy-aligned scoring to prioritise effectively
- Effort & capacity modelling to set realistic timelines
- A defensible, agreed plan supported by clear governance and roles
You’ll also explore two short case studies:
- Introducing demand management in a high-growth environment
- Portfolio prioritisation ahead of a major product launch at Elvie
This session is ideal for COOs, CFOs, CIOs, PMO leaders, and anyone responsible for portfolio planning, prioritisation or delivery.
