Fitting in to be effective? Even more so for consultants!
This smart article by Molly Petrilla has good advice for potential employees, but we'd suggest it is just as critical for part-timers and consultants.
Why? Well unless you are stuck just accepting everything that comes your way, the better, busier consultants get to pick and choose their work. Good BD consultants, or great Bid Managers are in high demand. And we all know how hard to is to secure a top technical or proposal writer to help you #WinWork
So as a consultant, many talk about the added value of a good working environment, especially in the high-pressure, high-stakes, often under-resourced and badly planned world of BD & Bids.
So do your homework in the manner suggested in this article. If you are going to put your heart and soul; your years of experience into a role on a 'must-win' deal, surely it makes sense to ensure you will get more than just dollars back?
And hirers of consultants, ask yourselves the extent to which your organisational culture attracts or drives away crucial external resources? And what could you do about it?
How mature is the structure and discipline of your #BDLifecycle ? Are your bid team always stuck in panic loops, with executives changing there mind on #WinStrategy and theme statements?
