Helping you gain clarity. We will develop models and maps of your project. Enabling you to define and scope your project. Creating a well-defined plan is often easy to say and hard to do. Especially if you are dealing with uncertain and changing problems. We look at different ways of categorising things to create a plan that will enhance and support your work.

Understand and build up your capacity to deliver the project. Do a skills audit. Use appreciative inquiry to discover additional strengths to build on. Communicate an evidence base that will make you a credible bidder. Examine other paths to adding credibility to your bid such as partnerships and collaborations.

Be able to get a handle on the maths behind your project. Effective budgeting is essential for the sustainability of any project. Develop a realistic and effective budget, ensuring that the project is financially sustainable and that resources are allocated efficiently. I’ll support you with my experience creating bids and funding proposals and identify how best to present this data.

Showing you can monitor the impact is often key to winning investment. With extensive background in project analytics, I can help you develop a strong data collection and evaluation plan. Reflecting the difference your project makes in the world. Providing a platform for continuous improvement and communicating the benefits of the project.

It’s hard to stand out and be different. Sometimes it’s finding a new perspective a fresh insights. Other times it’s finding your own unique authentic voice. Lets uncover what makes you unique. By standing out you create a narrative that assessors will remember and give your project a real heart and soul. Together we can use what makes your project special as a golden thread throughout your project bid.

Creating an impact. This is what it’s all about. Yet doing so often can be unpredictable and intangable. We don’t want to promise something we can’t be sure of. However, gaining insight and understanding on this topic can really build confidence in assessors. Working together we will create a routemap to success and consider contingencies so that your bid generates belief in achieving impact.

My coaching process is really adapted to your needs. That means starting with you. In this session you set the tone and pace.

In this stage, we will take the time to understand your world, as well as the details of your project.

You can explain your problems and the destination you would like to reach.

We will review the strengths and weaknesses of your bid and the key details around the bid

The focus of this session is to make sense of your world. 

We will look at fresh perspectives to improve your understanding and gain new insights.

We match up your project, your proposal and the requirements and needs of those assessing the bid.

We will start to model and map the bid, so that we can gain a good situation awareness of where you are at.

Together, we will review different options. How can you both improve your proposal as well as the likelihood of implementing the project. This will help you make informed decisions about your project, and choose the path that is right for you.

It is not about knowing the right answer, but the emphasis is creating hypothesis we are then able to test to establish the best path forwards.

The focus of this session is put together a plan of action. What we intend to do when. It is also understanding all the little things that get in the way of action and how we might overcome them.

We will create a strategy for action and look at different contingencies to ensure that your project is well-prepared for any obstacles that may arise.

You should end this session with an action plan for your proposal. But it should be one that you feel is tailored to your personal strengths and is achievable.
