Nick Oulton Session at UK APMP Conference

Nicholas Oulton, m62 founder, chief executive, and principal consultant for m62’s STAT service, has been selected as one of four industry experts to lead a session at the UK Association of Proposal Management Professionals Annual Conference 2009, to be held 21-22 October. Nick has been selected to share from his extensive expertise and experience around writing, preparing, and delivering, pitch presentations.

Speakers at the event include Lord Karan Bilimoria of Chelsea, the founder of Cobra Beer; and Sahar Hashemi, co-founder of Coffee Republic.

Nick’s session is entitled Effective Bid Rehearsal. The seminar is about how to ensure that a bid team perform well on the day – what to do to prepare them, and how to ensure that they deliver a credible performance.

The biggest problem for presenters during rehearsal is the “Friendly Assassin”, the colleague who is trying to help but actually undermining performance. On the day it’s the “Enemy Plant” the client with an agenda.

During this seminar delegates will learn:

• A proven process for bid rehearsal
• An approach to nullifying Friendly Assassins
• Strategies for blocking the Plants

This seminar will better equip those attending to run a bid rehearsal or take part in one in a constructive manner. It won’t guarantee success but it will guarantee peace of mind that you did your best.
