SM&A® Win Strategy provides a systematic process that helps clients clearly identify the actions necessary to win competitive procurements. Our structured approach depends on early strategy development and planning to provide a detailed roadmap for producing proposals that meet customer requirements for cost, schedule, approach and risk.

Our successful win strategies process will help you to:

+ Identify a customer's critical issues
+ Determine the conditions necessary to win
+ Analyze your strengths and weaknesses
+ Assess the competitive landscape
+ Determine the price-to-win
+ Define and implement the actions to achieve the desired winning outcome

A Win Strategy defines a set of conditions implemented by actions that are critical to winning. It guides:

+ The organization & structure of the project team
+ The model for customer contact and interaction
+ The creation of all proposal products

Since 1982, SM&A has achieved an 85% win rate with Win Strategies focusing on five key elements. These key elements are:
Institution
The overarching infrastructure that links the prime contractor, the team members, and the customer.
Organization
The way in which the proposal team is structured, the capabilities of the team personnel, the commonality of tools and processes, the distribution of authority and incentives and the team-wide communications.
Systems Engineering
The processes, people and tools used by the team to make fundamental decisions, balancing evolving program objectives and risks – mission, technical, cost, schedule.
Program Plan
The cost-driven IMP/IMS that meets program objectives, provides program flexibility, mitigated schedule risk, and applies lessons-learned from consulting previous and current programs.
The Deal
The total financial relationship with the customer, over the program life cycle, that meets the customer’s fiscal objectives, and minimizes the customer’s fiscal risk.

SM&A Win Strategy drives the entire proposal process. It unites the proposal team behind a common strategy, and guides their team structure, communication, and proposal creation.
