One Size Won’t Win: How to Match Your Proposal Approach to Today’s Market Shifts
Part 1 - Strategic Clarity in a Shifting Market: What Proposal Professionals Need Now Isn’t Speed—It’s Clarity
This two-part series gives federal growth teams a system to assess each pursuit, align strategy early, and respond with precision in today’s faster, more fragmented market. Part 1 introduces a signal-based tool that helps BD, capture, and proposal teams right-size effort and adjust structure before writing begins. Part 2 shows how to apply it using a practical calculator that turns real pursuit signals into clear, coordinated action. Together, these sessions equip teams to lead earlier, operate with greater strategic discipline, and deliver responses that reflect the true logic of the pursuit, not just the mechanics of the process. They also examine the safe and effective use of this powerful technology and explore the future directions of AI development.
Part 1 reframes how proposal teams approach each opportunity. As federal buying grows faster and less predictable, traditional workflows are misfiring. This session introduces the Game Plan—a practical tool that helps teams recognize pursuit signals, right-size effort, and shift from habit-based response to strategic alignment. Attendees learn how to interpret real-world shifts like compressed timelines, new formats, and reduced access—and use them to lead smarter decisions earlier in the process.
