OCI will begin offering a recompete workshop starting in February 2014. The one-day workshop helps recompete teams get the best possible start to their recompete campaign, make the most of their incumbency, and avoid the mistakes that often cause incumbents to lose. The workshop is structured around a series of proven templates designed to systematically determine everything that needs to be done to win the recompetition. Under the OCI facilitator, key company personnel will go through a rigorous process designed to uncover and share key contract and recompete factors, formulate a comprehensive plan for the recompete, and define and schedule every activity needed to win.
The workshop serves as a unique catalyst for a company to jumpstart their recompete. We all know that many companies lose recompetes because of that well known disease — “incumbent-itis”. Incumbents who complete this workshop can greatly increase their chances of winning. In case of emergency conditions, OCI could provide this class beginning in November 2013.
