This visually engaging 2×2 matrix classifies concepts into four categories—NOW, HOW, WOW, and standard ideas—enabling teams to determine which initiatives deserve immediate execution, future planning, or creative investment. Each quadrant features bold typography and vibrant color blocks, including red for actionable ideas, blue for exploratory concepts, and purple for innovative breakthroughs, ensuring visual clarity and impact in any presentation.
