Identify Concept and Components of a Proposal

As  you develop your concept, you will examine how it involves one or more of these areas: solves a problem, improves efficiency, curbs loss, makes improvements, and/or uses technology or a system? Since the steps required for effective presentations often parallel the  steps for writing a document, we will be analyzing a proposal presentation to:  •  Determine the purpose  •  Analyze the audience  •  Understand how the facts that support the point of view were gathered  •  Determine how the information was logically organized

As we analyze this proposal presentation, consider how some or all of these elements were used during the proposal and whether they were logically organized to be persuasive. Identify and discuss each of these areas (if applicable). State in what order of her overall presentation they were presented.  Executive or project summary  General description of products or services  Detailed solution or rationale  Cost analysis  Delivery schedule or work plan  Site preparation description  Training requirements  Statement of responsibilities  Description of vendor  Organizational sales pitch  Conclusion  (full descriptions on BWC pages 158-159)
