Finding Inspiration in the Most Unexpected Places
Ever had a moment of unexpected clarity in the most unlikely place? Last Friday, I had one of those moments while on a morning movie date with my husband at AMC. We went to see the new Deadpool and Wolverine movie, our little escape from the weekly grind.
The Deadpool Approach: Quick Thinking and Unexpected Solutions
As the previews rolled and the smell of buttery popcorn filled the air, we settled in for a wild ride. If you're familiar with Deadpool movies, you know they’re full of crazy antics, non-stop action, and quick thinking. But what struck me this time was the way Deadpool handles being in a tight spot. Just when it seems there's no way out, he pulls off a trick that shocks everyone. It was then that I realized—this unpredictability and out-of-the-box thinking are exactly what we need in our proposal strategies.
Why Creativity Matters in Proposal Strategies
Sure, we’re not battling villains—though it can feel like it sometimes! But when it comes to those must-win projects, creativity is key. Relying on the same old methods won’t cut it in the competitive AEC world. Our proposals need to be as unique and unexpected as Deadpool’s solutions, tailored specifically to the client’s needs.
Takeaway: Be the Deadpool of Proposals
So, here’s the takeaway: Bringing fresh approaches and surprising solutions can make the difference between hearing "thanks, but no thanks" and securing a winning bid.
