Global Bidding Specialists Forum™ – June Edition
🚀 June Edition Theme
Shaping the future of the bidding profession
“Evolving from traditional role-based bidding to strategic end-to-end bidding professionals ”
Traditional roles such as Bid Coordinator, Bid Writer, Proposal Writer, Bid Manager and Capture Manager remain important and continue to play a vital role in winning business. However, the profession is evolving.
Bidding is becoming less bid-centric and more winning business-centric.
At the same time, many traditional administrative, coordination, proposal writing, bid management and proposal management activities are being automated, streamlined or augmented through technology and AI.
As a result, organisations are increasingly looking for professionals who can create value across the entire bidding and business-winning lifecycle, not just manage bid processes or write proposals.
Today's most valuable bidding professionals are increasingly developing capabilities across:
• Strategic bidding
• Commercial awareness
• Competitive positioning
• AI-enabled bidding
• Value creation and outcomes
• Revenue generation
This Forum is a dialogue about the future of the bidding profession — an opportunity to openly discuss the challenges, uncertainties, impacts, risks and opportunities that are shaping the next generation of bidding professionals.
