DEFINING A CLEAR
PATH FORWARD

HOW WE CAN HELP:

Winning in the federal marketplace is not a sprint. It’s a marathon that requires stamina. If you have a get rich quick scheme – you’re in the wrong business. If you win by promising the Government the moon, and fall short on your delivery, it will be your last contract. If you have both intellectual prowess and a moral compass –– you can win in the federal marketplace.

If you have that prowess but lack time or resources, that’s when you call the Thought Leadership Group – TLG. We create partnerships with contracting firms of all sizes who share in our passion to combine innovative solutions with ethical delivery. TLG serves as a moral compass to ensure contracts have squarely addressed the Government’s needs, and as a navigation tool to ensure you are pointing in the right direction in every phase of business procurement. We support busy federal contractors with appraisals, intelligence, straight-talk consultations, and the organization and “excellentization” of your documents, solutions, resources, pricing, and delivery.

A COMPASS FOR CAPTURE:

CAPTURE

We help with navigating the complexities of procurement – knowing when an agency posts a bid, where it posts, and the underlying story of why.

PROPOSAL DEVELOPMENT

We can assist with any aspect of the proposal process and work products – and will caution you against responding to posts that are untenable or a waste of your Bid & Proposal time and money.

COST & PRICING

TLG can provide you with realistic and competitive pricing advice.

CORPORATE EVALUATION

We “consult the consultants” by providing tailored, easy-to-read written recommendations on operational improvements to re-establish your branding, business development management, processes, and win strategies.

STRATEGY & CONSULTING

Let TLG analyze your strengths and weaknesses through gate-reviews and black hat sessions, examine branding and approaches, and if needed, introduce you to agencies and teaming partners.

MARKET RESEARCH & INTELLIGENCE

TLG uses a combination of modern technology and old-fashioned streetwise, networked insight to give you the heads up you need to plan intelligently and accordingly.

That’s a compass pointing in the direction of “win-win.”
