What Can You Tell From a Storyboard? |
|
|
|
Storyboards tell you if the magic is working. The time taken on a storyboard review reduces the amount of time that has to be spent later re-writing sections and wasting energy. If the storyboard review is not thorough, you may have difficult review sessions later on that will require major sections of the proposal to be changed drastically, resulting in re-work, overtime, and a lot of acid indigestion.
The storyboard review can tell you all kinds of important things. For example, it can tell you:
- If the proposal is responsive to the guidelines
- If it addresses all of the items
- If it adheres to the page limit (including resumes and experience summaries)
- If the theme is integrated into the proposal
- If the benefits are clear
- If all of the discriminators have been covered
- If the proposal's message is clearly defined
- If that message is consistent throughout the proposal
- If the organization and layout seems sensible and logical
- If the claims are supported by facts
White Team Reviewers should discuss the strengths and weaknesses with you. Tact isn't critical at this point; you're simply trying to clear up as much as possible early on to avoid having to do things over later. With this in mind, you should be able to handle the rough edges of a well-intentioned review. It can save you a lot of time and money and go a long, long way toward ensuring success.
