Time to dream

I’ve just got round to looking up a quote that I half-memorised whilst watching a sports programme on the BBC recently. (One of the dangers of blogging is that everyday life is regularly interrupted by the recurring thought, “I could use that on the blog”!)

They were quoting Anatole France:​
​“To accomplish great things, we must not only act but also dream. Not only plan but also believe.”
​Perhaps that’s one of the differences between tactical and strategic proposal teams: the less mature proposal group focuses on ‘acting and planning’, the execution of the project plan, getting a document out on time. Strategic proposal professionals take a little more time to ‘dream and believe’, helping the team to visualise a great proposal and to develop a compelling story.
