RFP's And Professional Services: A Massive Procurement Failure

The above was the original title of the article written by us for CA Magazine which currently appears in their first issue of 2008. The kindler, gentler souls at CA Magazine retitled it "A Decent Proposal" but if you've ever wondered about the real costs, or effectiveness of the RFP process as applied to professional services firms, this is the article for you. Feel free to forward the link to your favourite purchasing deaprtment. And hats off to PMAC who have invited us to present the article at the Purchasing Management Association of Canada (PMAC) national conference in Newfoundland on Thursday May 22, 2008. I'm sure it will generate some long overdue discussion. Again congrats to them for opening the floor to this type of presentation.
