Better Internal Proposals

Better Inteal Proposals My colleague has a problem. We belong to the same club and that has tried for a while 'of time without success, to support one of its proposals.His lack of results to be considered when a reader asked for ideas about the inteal motions more effectively. As in its communication, it is necessary to make a business case for proposals, including cost and retus.She 'sa right and I agree wholeheartedly. In fact, I have just finished a proposal for the organization of work and I accepted that the nature of basis.But, I think all the good tips to start my colleague has problems. It begins with a clear and concise statement about the project: "This is what I recommend, this is the problem (problem or opportunity) has, and those are the consequences (benefits) to do what I can recommend." ;, I often have situations where the ideas do not fly, because the person making the proposal has not yet been prepared, the type of analysis and explanation. While the basic ideas seem obvious to him or her, it is not obvious to others. I referred to it elsewhere as "Everyone knows" syndrome.To do the analysis and then write the statement begins with a description of the actions you take. In other words, write the things you want to see happen and how to change the status quo. For example, recently I went to a meeting with a proposal that went like this: Change the duration of the event to four weeks of the current period of six weeks, to reduce costs during a slow period.Next, name, or a list of people or functions. Who is the action? Do you want one person to act, or several, or many? And if this is a multi-phase campaign that stage. For example, 'I want this committee to formulate a recommendation, you may vote at AGM. Follow that with a list of people and organizations conceed with the action. In this thorough examination, it is too easy to forget the peripheral players. And very often peripheral players the difference for our plans.Now, there is a timetable or a sequence of events that needs into account before a decision can be made or carried out? Almost everything we do, in large mode organizations is linked to other people and resources. And what about contingencies? Your proposal for another success? Having carefully examined the proposal and its implications, we tu now to the costs and benefits, the business case. What are the tangible and intangible costs? Column immaterial, at least a mental note of the emotional costs, the main operators pay. The same rule applies for benefits, or proceeds, if we are talking about the financial components. Think about the important role emotions play often decisions.In To sum up, then take a strategic approach to inteal proposals, an approach that questions the players, and the consequences. This exercise allows you to produce clear and precise, because you thought the way through the proposal carefully, and you know the key issues.Robert F. Abbott Abbott writes and publishes the letter.
