Our Vice President of Management Consulting, John Prior will be presenting “Making Winning Choices™: An Intellectually Agile Approach to Developing Successful Win Strategies” at the upcoming APMP Western Chapter Training Day on Friday, October 29, 2021 at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa in Anaheim, California.

The new approach to win strategy avoids protracted decision-making while still being transparent and repeatable. Making Winning Choices™ is team-based and depends on identifying evidence that establishes a clear, explainable burden of proof for key questions. Just as important, it is adaptable to unique, albeit often changing, Request for Proposal (RFP), and proposal requirements and circumstances. Furthermore, it forces real decisions and trade-offs on the four central issues driving winning proposals:

• The technical offering
• The enterprise offering
• The program approach, and
• The pricing and contract terms

John specializes in market analysis, growth strategy, and strategic planning. As a strategist, he has broad in-house and management consulting experience. Prior to joining SMA, John led the effort to establish a strategic HR capability at Sonos, leading a team of HR business partners to globally deliver strategy, organizational design and people management solutions across Sonos’ Marketing, Go-To-Market, and Infrastructure teams. John is currently a Lieutenant Colonel with the U.S. Army Reserves serving as an instructor with the Command and General Staff Officer Course.
