Course description



It has never been more important to respond quickly to customers with high quality proposals. Opportunities are everywhere, but the cost to develop custom proposals is high, without the right systems and tools. A centralized knowledge library improves content retrieval, saves time, ensures consistency, and reduces errors, helping to streamline proposal development and improve competitiveness.

Effective content management lowers the cost to bid by reducing duplication of effort and promoting consistency in how information is presented. A Knowledge Library provides a central location to store and share information, expertise, and best practices across your organization.

This course is designed for individuals responsible for proposal management or knowledge management within your organization. If your team needs help organizing content, or building out specific sections of your library, we offer implementation support. This service is designed to provide practical assistance with document management and content organization—tailored to your specific needs.
