Getting the most from your proposal budget while increasing your productivity – Lisa Pafe and Brenda Crist

Today companies are trying to make the most of every dollar to increase their competitive edge. Even a small decrease in overhead costs or increase in productivity can make big difference. Our presentation decomposes a budget for developing a 30-day proposal and a 10-day proposal for small, medium, and large companies and provides recommendations for decreasing costs, while also streamlining workflow, effectively using automation, and working smarter not harder.

Our presentation also describes how we implement management best practices like Agile, Information Technology Infrastructure Library® (ITIL), and Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBoK), and commonly used tools and technology to generate cost savings.

We describe how doing more with less does not mean longer hours for less pay, but rather leverages continuous process improvement, teamwork, creativity, and ongoing training to result in long-term savings. The presentation shares best practices for cost savings.
