Drive Innovation in your proposals with Design Thinking
- Abhijit Majumdar
We are all living in a world of experiences. Every decision we make is based on either our or someone else’s experiences. Whether it is watching a movie on Netflix, comparing products or services on Amazon, planning a vacation on TripAdvisor, or selecting a school for our kids. Every decision is driven by experiences and we look forward for it, we enjoy it.
In our work life as proposal management professionals, we strive to make our proposals compelling to deliver the best experience to the evaluators to persuade them to select us over the competition.
And we do it by understanding what they expect from our proposals, understanding their hot buttons, motivators, issues, we provide them with solutions. We think about them, we think about their problems, we propose our solutions keeping them at the center. We try to create human-centric proposals, evaluated by humans, with solutions to be used by humans. We are, by all means human centric.
But, unfortunately in the process-centric approach we follow to complete the proposal, deliver a compliant and responsive response to the RFP and a race to compete and win, we somewhere loose the human-centric approach. More so because we are not trained or accept ourselves to be Design Thinkers. So, in my webinar on “Design Thinking for Proposal Management”, I l try to explain What is Design Thinking and Why we are Design Thinkers and How we can apply Design Thinking in what we do and deliver.
