WEBINAR TODAY: Writing Effective RFPs for Lean Projects
A strong Request for Proposal (RFP) sets the foundation for project success, yet many RFPs are rushed or recycled from previous projects. For Lean Projects, the RFP must inspire creativity and collaboration, offering Owner Project Managers a glimpse into who belongs on their team and how the team will work together.
In this session, John will share real-life examples and provide actionable insights on crafting and responding to Lean RFPs, all from the Owner’s perspective.
