Course Overview

Proposals are project design documents with potential impact on clients’ organizations, projects’ stakeholders, customers and beneficiaries. Once approved, winning proposals become project plans that will lead to well-executed mission-critical work. Proposals help nonprofit organizations, businesses and public-sector agencies to increase their contracts awards and to enhance levels of revenue.
