It’s true: your business has the talent and ability to perform the contract work that you’ve been hired for. ……… So how do you guarantee that you and the contracting agency are on the same page from the very start?

No matter how well your proposal was written, there will be differences in interpretation between what you thought you wrote and what the contracting agency understands you will deliver.

To coalesce all the diverse opinions, to get buy in on critical items you need for project success, and to develop common understanding of project deliverables, you need to conduct a well-planned, well executed kickoff meeting.

Join this webinar to learn:

1. How to structure a kickoff meeting,
2. The politics of conducting the meeting, and most importantly …
3. What you need to ask for before everyone leaves the room.
