LSI's mission is to help you achieve your full competitive potential with every proposal while creating improved teamwork, productivity and cost efficiency. We achieve this by utilizing an integrated set of proven best practices and innovative, new suite of tools.

Through a complete and detailed understanding of your business environment, particular procurement complexities, targeted opportunity and your proposal development assets, capabilities and resources, LSI can provide a customized and cost-effective support plan. The support plan will include flexible pricing models that work with even the tightest budgets. Several of the methodologies we use include:

• Readiness Assessments
  The last time you want to discover you are not ready for the RFP to drop is when your proposal team informs you it has been released. Too much time and money is wasted on most proposals as teams try and commence proposal development from incomplete or unavailable capture plans. Productivity is compromised if the in-house proposal resources and capabilities do not match the projected requirements for effective RFP response. Let our experts assess your state-of-readiness for proposal development and if necessary, recommend corrective actions. Based on years of Capture and Proposal experience in major, billion-dollar must-win situations, our experts understand what to look for and how to help you prepare.                                                                                                                                     
• RFP Scoping / Stripping
  Once the RFP has dropped, plan before you deploy. Most organizations seeking proposal support have the opportunity to save money and improve proposal quality by using LSI’s experts to plan the proposal development project, including the right skill levels deployed at the right time, with proper support resources.

Once we have defined your requirements and the associated factors that effect proposal development planning, resources, efficiency and quality of the response, we utilize our proven consulting management methodologies for ensuring our support services match you requirements and exceed your expectations. From proposal process evaluation and consulting to long-term support partnerships, our focus is helping our clients do what it takes to win:

• Micro-Recruiting™
  Unlike “rolodex companies” that measure service through resume quantity, we focus on thoroughly identifying and documenting your proposal development needs and requirements as early as possible. LSI develops support plans and provides consulting personnel customized to your needs. By taking a “micro” focus on each client’s needs and utilizing our National Resourcing Team, we build a team with the skills, experience and capabilities you require. Whether it is complete proposal team and operations, to a single consultant or a small team augmenting your resources in a virtual proposal development environment LSI has expert personnel available. 
   
• Virtual Proposal Integration
  Today’s business environment demands new tools and approaches. With proposal team members, contributors, subject matter experts and reviewers often dispersed across regions, the nation or even the world, the time and cost of travel for on-site proposal development is increasingly prohibitive. We offer the most advanced and proven know-how and tools to make virtual proposal development a competitive advantage for your organization. From our best practices from hundreds of proposals developed in a 100% virtual environment, to our Virtual Efficiency Software Suite ™ (“vES2”), we will help you determine the best application to drive team efficiency and proposal quality. 
   
• Sure Start™
  While even the most experienced and skilled proposal consultants may appear highly attractive to a proposal development team in need of support, it is careful and thorough preparation through on-going management that ensures the highest quality service. Our Sure Start ™ program is a proven, multi-component management process for ensuring every LSI proposal consultant hits the ground better prepared to help increase overall team productivity.

When it comes to consistent, high-quality proposal development, we combine great individuals with well thought-out plans, innovative tools, and hands-on management to deliver consistent value. Call us today to learn more about the LSI difference.
