Welcome to 2024, we’ve worked our way through lock-downs, working from home, remote teams, virtual offices and a whole lot of proposals and bids since the last series on content and content libraries. (And hopefully all the tenders that came out on 22 December 2023 have now been completed and returned to procurement after they gave an extension of at least two weeks to the submission deadlines of 2 January 2024 that were issued with the procurement notice!)
The previous series we published, covered the steps to a better bid content library, back before we’d figured out how to leverage tech for remote working and leaps and bounds were made in the variety and scope of technology available to us for collaboration and what it can do… So before AI became a buzzword, Zoom calls linked us in and out of work and our kids knew more about how to manipulate PowerPoint or Canva than we did.
I’ve been asked a lot about whether we still need content libraries – after all, AI developments like ChatGPT and others can simply trawl our systems and write something for us… There are proposal automation solutions that can do much the same, so where does that leave us?
In my opinion and experience, in a very good place. As humans we can decide what to put in our content repositories, what constitutes ‘good’ content, what to keep and what to bin. We have POWER. It’s how we leverage that power and the technological advances we make that will either enable us or nobble us.
Over the next few months we’ll look at managing RFX knowledge (aka bid/proposal content) and leverage the tech we already know and love and how to incorporate some of the new ideas and tools that have arrived since our last series.
Watch this space for ‘RFX Knowledge Management Basics’ at the end of the month…
