Request for Proposals (RFPs) are vital for procurement and project management processes because they offer a structured method for organizations to solicit bids from potential vendors. They outline project requirements, objectives, and evaluation criteria, so they ensure the proposals profile the needs of the organization. In short, it is an organized and formal documentation of requirements and expectations, and helps reduce misunderstandings and confusion. It facilitates communication between vendor and contractor and helps get the job for the contractor done faster by skipping steps that would have been necessary if not for the RFPs.
Unfortunately, RFP writing can be tricky, especially for new or first time writers. To help with this experience, Mark Knowles of GovDirections is hosting an in person event in Charlotte, North Carolina, with the exact location to be determined. This five hour course will teach interested people about how to write RFPs, and more importantly, how you can use GPT to help with the writing process. The course will go over important information such as terminology, methods for pinpointing, and include developing new methods that are tailored to your company. People may feel conflicted about the use of GPT and A.I., but really A.I. is an incredibly useful resource to have. The difficulty comes from not using it efficiently or to it's fullest potential. This class will help improve GPT usability which can help further and grow your business and future endeavors.
The breakdown of the course goes as follows: the first hour will be dedicated to determining your capabilities, including examining of your capabilities to a GPT.
