Proposal Professional Impact Paper Submitted and Presented by: (insert APMP candidate number and name)

PPIP ® Information The purpose of this presentation is to establish your firm claim for the significant impact that you have made in the proposals profession. Impact requires that you demonstrate that you have made a significant difference, in quantifiable terms, to the proposal profession. 1.The significant achievement must provide a sustainable improvement in areas such as: customer interaction, proposal and bid management, individual or organizational development, proposal processes or infrastructure improvement. 2.The impact must be something where you were personally responsible and where your organization, a clients organization or the proposal profession clearly had a quantifiable gain. 3.Successful completion of research projects, change management initiatives, continual improvement quality programs are all good candidates for your professional impact. 4.Activities associated with your day to day job generally do not rise to the level to be considered for professional impact. Impacts must be clearly above and beyond your normal activities and assignments. Impact is not just a case of doing your job competently. Professional impacts must demonstrate personal commitment and initiative. 5.Hard performance indicators (e.g. financial figures, win rates, staff productivity) make it easier to quantify the effect, but you may also use qualitative measures, such as improvement in staff morale, or beneficial culture change, especially if these can be corroborated by other individuals. This PPIP™ is comprised of: 1.Demonstration and evidence of an example of Impact in the proposals environment. Your Impact may, or may not be linked to your learning and development. This is a choice for you. 2.Demonstration and evidence of your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) as a Proposal Professional.
