Tasks that are deemed to be important, but not urgent, are strategic tasks you should schedule enough time to plan for and execute later. These are the tasks that should be prioritized the highest, and get done right away. The Urgent vs Important Quadrant will let your group take a list of tasks and quickly identify which ones they collectively deem as both urgent and important. It clearly sorts items into four lists with different recommended actions.
This is one of the most elegant tools to help a group collectively define their priorities.
