CAPTURING THE FEDERAL OPPORTUNITY

“The Capture phase of a project is where you win the opportunity.  It is in the Capture Process that the customer is assured they are making the best possible decision in selecting your firm and bid.”

Capture Management involves planning, execution and management of activities that begin with identification of a Federal opportunity and end with a decision to bid. The process we teach is focused on learning the goals, dreams and key drivers perceived by the customer, then obtaining the details that allow your firm to create a compelling solution and proposal based on interaction with the customer.  You will learn the steps involved in capturing Federal opportunities; steps that include: developing and executing a capture plan, determining which people in the client organization to meet with and how to prepare for the meetings.  Specifics of documenting information are covered along with analyzing client organizations and competitors to create strategies for winning the opportunity.  There is a rigorous process presented for making pursue/no pursue and bid/no bid decisions.

The course covers the specifics of creating a capture plan, analyzing requirements, demonstrating your capability and commitment to the customer and creating the win themes that discriminate you from the competition in the mind of your customer.

The 8-hour workshop is presented by one of our senior staff.  We can train your entire Capture Team on-site for those "must win" procurements with a workshop tailored to your firm and your client's objectives. The workshop is also taught on a public basis at the Advantage Consulting office. All instructors have extensive experience in Government and industry.
