HOW WE DO IT
Agile Methodology
The Proposal Method takes a page from the agile methodology playbook used in hi-tech. In our kick-off meetings – in person or virtually – we facilitate so all your subject matter experts collaborate in teasing out your unique selling propositions. (Although we cover off the admin stuff too like schedule and responsibilities.)
This approach focuses your staff’s efforts where they best add value and gives us enough information to write a first draft so they don’t have to.
