Nor'easters Host First 2010 Dinner Meeting
The Nor'easters first dinner meeting in 2010 was held April 21 at the Westford Regency in Westford, MA. Twenty-seven attendees were treated to speaker Joe O'Neill's very well received "Being Green at Red Team" topic. Joe's presentation focused on strategies for avoiding the 7 Common Bad Behaviors (spanning both capture planning and proposal development) that lead to a “red” (bad) Red Team review.
Based on several studies, and many years of personal experience, Joe explained how to best position your proposal to be "green" (good) at Red Team, the crucial final review of your bid before it is submitted to the client. The presentation was a dry run for the June 1-4 APMP Conference in Orlando, so the slides may change in the interim. Once Joe has finalized the presentation, we'll post it to the Nor'easters member library. Stay tuned!
