Proposal Surveys and Goals for 2021

In the first issue of the Production Pulse, we provided the results of a Proposal survey conducted mid - 2018. Participants included

those representing a variety of required roles during the proposal development process from across the company. Analysis of the survey results informed of several aspects of the proposal development process as working well, along with many suggestions for improvement. In the spring of 2020, a second targeted mini - survey was distributed to a smaller group of participants aimed at assisting us to better understand impacts to the proposal development process resulting from the implementation of AERIS. Results of this mini - survey highlighted many of the ongoing challenges staff are facing. Our team is developing a proof - of - concept business case aimed at exploring possible solutions to these identified challenges.

Please watch for progress updates related to this initiative in future 2021 Production Pulse newsletters.

Upon detailed review of this mini - survey, discussions of each challenge have occurred over the past summer and fall. Moving into the next year, the focus will be centered on potential solutions – type of platform(s), testing, training and communication over the next six to nine months with the goal of achieving improvements to proposal resources.
