Today's Consulting session took place after a long gap. It was a great start to our new year & term. The session was focused on 'How to write a proposal' & how to win it. It is very important to understand the context of the engagement in order to initiate an effective proposal. The context should be made clear & crisp by asking the right questions to the client. In a very structured way we should set:

 Point of departure 
Point of arrival 
Objective of the engagement 
Benefits after the objective is met. 

It is also very important to ask the client what they expect from the consultants & how can a consultant fill the gap from current situation to desired situation. After this, we need to work on the Base-Line Logic Sheet to understand the client requirements clearly.

The day ended with lot of group exercises to learn how to put these theories in to practice. A fruitful session indeed.
