Only focusing on getting things done faster is NOT a sustainable solution for your RFP process. That's why Kathryn Bennett encourages using Lean principles over Agile ones to get work done right the first time.
Kathryn is the Director of RFP Excellence at Loopio, a Toronto-based software company that streamlines the RFP response process for more than 1,000 leading organizations, including IBM and DocuSign. Loopio has twice earned a spot on the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 and was selected as one of LinkedIn’s Top Startups in Canada two years in a row.
On this episode of The RFP Success Show, Kathryn explains how to optimize the proposal process from start to finish, challenging us to test our assumptions about how work is getting done and leverage process mapping to identify inefficiencies.
Kathryn offers insight on data analysis for RFP teams, describing what the winningest proposal shops measure and how to present that data in a way that's accessible and relevant.
