Description
Capture planning is a critical process that involves identifying opportunities, evaluating the landscape, and implementing effective strategies to secure a specific business opportunity. While there is abundant information on capture planning, much of it is tailored toward large organizations with substantial human resources and established government contracts.
This course focuses on how small businesses, despite their limited resources, can utilize capture planning to improve their success rates in winning government contracts before the solicitation phase begins. You will learn why it is important to develop and execute a capture plan and how to align it with your proposal to maximize your chances of success.
Additionally, we’ll provide a straightforward capture plan template and access to supplementary resources to assist you in managing this crucial business task effectively.
Target Audience: Small business owners, marketing and sales personnel, project managers
