New Legacy Coaching Session

Question:

"My firm adopts a structured approach to proposals, integrating proprietary frameworks and methodologies to guide our problem-solving process. Through StrategyTraining's insights on winning proposals, I recognise the importance of incorporating good logic, strategy and thinking. Proposals should also be able to:
1) ask the right question,
2) include some analyses to solve the problem, and
3) have a simple way of explaining the work the team is doing/seeking to do.

While I value the discipline my firm's process instills, I am curious as to how necessary it is to incorporate frameworks in proposals, given that client problems should be appreciated for their uniqueness and, ideally, tackled and solved using first principles. Additionally, in your experience, what common characteristics have you observed in proposals that secure client engagements versus those that do not succeed?"

In the Strategy Control Room - Advanced we have uploaded an example of a proposal which led to a series of consulting engagements. See how a successful proposal is written.

Most people follow a strategy of creating passive income, which they assume will create passive wealth. But that is not the same. If you focus on passive income without focusing on passive wealth creation, you will likely end up less wealthy vs. the level of wealth you could have achieved. Based on requests, Michael has updated his MasterPlan (in yellow shading) to explain the strategy he uses to build both wealth and income passively. This is an approach we have not taught in the MasterPlan online program.

Learn about the Strategy Control Room

Business cases are not a document. That is the wrong approach and the most common approach. A business case is the justification for acting on a recommendation and it ends with convincing management to act. Unless the recommendation is acted on, it is not a proper business case. That is what we teach.

The steps need to generate the business case and get people to act. You have seen us use this approach in every program and book. Now, it is fully documented for you. Given the importance of Business case and Benefits tracking for our clients, we released a massive update of curated non-public guides within the Strategy Control Room (within Advanced Level membership) and Center of Excellence:

Our Best Thinking on Business cases and
Benefits tracking - 711 SLIDES
+
The full methodology - 625 SLIDES
+
A sample business case - 38 SLIDES
= 
1,374 SLIDES

HOW TO FIND THE BUSINESS CASE CENTER OF EXCELLENCE (1,374 SLIDES):

1. Log in to The Strategy Control Room, Advanced Level membership area.
2. See the "CENTER OF EXCELLENCE" dropdown. 
3. Select "Detailed Business Case Methodology".
4. The Detailed Business Case Methodology consists of 4 parts: Business cases, Benefits case, Benefits tracking (parts 1 - 3), and Full business case study. Each part includes multiple documents.
