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.
