Putting together and running large multiservice bids is a complex undertaking from either client or bidder side. Hundreds of people from many sites and countries may be involved in a bid that often takes many months.
How can a company do better in managing large bids and achieve a higher rate of success in a process with multiple actors and competitors that is fraught with risks and uncertainties? How can a bid team remain on the same page and focused on its strategic objectives while reacting to constant changes and new challenges?
Objective setting, individual task management and competitive watch are just a few aspects that bid managers have to deal with daily. While shared workspaces and instant conference capabilities help to react quicker, the real challenge is in defining a shared direction and driving coordinated actions. Nothing can substitute for pro-active leadership.
