Description

When the pandemic began, businesses scrambled to create systems for working from home. But now, we have a chance to take a breath and rethink our processes. To be more intentional in our sourcing of technology. To find efficient ways to collaborate, in or out of the office.

Dave Hulsen is a Cofounder and Chief Operating Officer at RFP360, the premiere RFP management software solution for buyers and proposal teams. In his role as a technology consultant, Dave gained years of experience both issuing and responding to RFPs, and today, he is committed to developing software that transforms and improves the RFP process for all involved.

On this episode of The RFP Success Show, Dave returns to discuss the opportunity we have now to question our systems and source with intention, exploring how competition supports product innovation.

Dave explains how his perspective on employee engagement changed through the pandemic, describing what his company is doing to focus on mental wellness and how staff members benefit from meaningful interactions in the office environment.

Listen in to understand how technology works with people and processes to make collaboration more efficient and get Dave’s take on when it’s time to integrate RFP software in YOUR proposal process!
