In the inaugural episode of 5 Capture & BD Questions, we’ll explore why Capture should be a core component of every Business Development organization. From codifying gate reviews and securing a Capture position, to understanding how protests impact both your proposal strategy and your firm’s reputation, this session will challenge firms to rethink how Capture fits into BD.
