Proposal Review
Our Proposal Review process examines the content, format and messaging of RFP responses to ensure quality, accuracy, compliance and consistency through regional, cultural and institutional lenses in order to sensitize program design and optimize outcomes.
According to the project complexity, there are many aspects of the proposal to assess. Therefore, a proposal review is actually made up of several rounds of reviews focused on specific aspects of the RFP response. Focus areas for RFP response reviews can include but are not limited to:
Storytelling, cohesiveness and messaging
Competitive positioning and win themes
Compliance and completeness
Response accuracy and consistency
Intersectionality and contextual analyses
Each of these focus areas is important to the overall success of the proposal. And, despite each of these reviews having unique and specific focus, their ultimate goal is the same: to identify any errors to be corrected, points to be clarified or improvements to be made before the submission of the final proposal. In short, the purpose of these reviews is to make the proposal as close to perfect as possible.
