Live Webinar – November 5th 2015, 12:00-1:00 PM EST
Duration: 1 hour  Credits:  1 Category A PDU – Free

Purchasing a project solution versus building one internally is becoming more common as organizations focus on implementing projects quicker and try to avoid re-inventing the wheel.

Selecting a vendor through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process doesn’t always guarantee that the solution the vendor proposed, and you selected, really meets the project’s needs and stakeholder’s expectations. Project teams make the mistake of jumping straight to the proposal portion of their project lifecycle before clearly defining their needs. The resulting RFP sent to vendors is vague and fails to communicate the critical requirements vendors need to propose accurate solutions.

Vendors have little choice except to make many assumptions regarding what they think the project needs are and base their proposals on these, often times, false assumptions. Because the project requirements are so vague, almost any vendor solution appears to adequately address the need.

Solutions Cube Group’s one hour recorded Webinars address many relevant project issues. Join them for this presentation and learn how to build RFPs that spell out the complete needs of your project and improve the accuracy and completeness of your vendor responses.

In thisone hour recordedWebinar participants learn about:

  • 3 Critical Success Factors of the RFP process
  • The components of the RFP process lifecycle
  • • The anatomy of a Request For Proposal document
  • Characteristics of the successful RFP
