When 20+ consultants and 20+ procurement specialists get in a room together to discuss the use of the RFP to select professional services providers there is bound to be great discussion.
This past Thursday at The Manitoba Club in Winnipeg, Canada the discussion was inspiring. It seems there is in fact hope for improving the way the RFP is used in professional services.
Moderated by Cal Harrison the opening question asked "Why did you make the time to come here today?"
The first consultant to answer indicated he was there to gain a broader perspective on the process.
The first procurement person to respond was there to improve the process for all parties involved.
And in the interests of professional collaboration, the discussion just got better from there.
After an hour of great and healthy debate it was obvious a second session would be required. Watch the Beyond Referrals website for the next session in the fall of 2009. A brief summary of the observations and learnings from the first session will also be posted here soon.

You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view
