Transforming the Traditional RFP into a Request for Partnership
MPD7 Management and Professional Development
Location: Ballroom E
TUESDAY, 8:30 - 9:15 a.m.
All too often, web projects are destined to fail before they begin due to pitfalls in the traditional RFP process. The results of these pitfalls can range from months of lost time and effort to hundreds of thousands of wasted dollars. Trinity University, in collaboration with their agency partner, ImageX, has found a way to put web projects on a rocket ship toward success, straight from the get-go: they’ve transformed the traditional Request for Proposal process into a new kind of RFP: a Request for Partnership.
