Oftentimes it is quite right that you insist that we take on vital proposal workstreams so you can concentrate on other activities within your business.

Whilst this is a completely legitimate way of working, it’s merely a short term fix. It is unlikely that your people have learned much. We’ve served as a life raft when, really, you would have been better served in the long term by bringing your own people up to the standard of Olympic swimmers!

So, our preferred model – and the one usually preferred by Bid Teams – is one of client empowerment.

Client empowerment translates as staged skill transfer, allowing you to take increased control of an optimised bid process, having your own teams and people enjoy the benefits – indeed the glory – of improved win rates. The most effective support for your company and your Bid Team will depend on your existing strengths and weaknesses.

These are the things that will raise you to “Olympic class” in the world of tenders and proposals.

The most appropriate support interventions for you are identified during a proposal health check audit, or as a consequence of a fully comprehensive benchmarking exercise (using a recent proposal/s).

Once we have a solid grasp of your developmental requirements we finalise with you the shape of the programme that will leverage the greatest positive impact for your proposals, which can include one or more of the following:

• Training, Coaching and Workshops
• Bespoke Consulting Services
• Value Proposition / Messaging Review
• Proposal Review
• Proposal Development Workshop
• Proposal Development Coaching
• Proposal Benchmarking
• Process Optimisation
