Proposal Resources And Insights
Helping Organisations Make Smarter Decisions Before They Submit
Successful grants, bids and tenders are not created by simply completing forms. They are created through research, strategy, qualification and a clear understanding of what decision makers are looking for. The Pursaro resource hub shares practical insights developed from years of real-world funding, proposal and commercial experience through Capti Group and Capti Innovation. Our goal is simple: help organisations spend less time chasing unsuitable opportunities and more time pursuing the right ones.
Strategy Before Submission
One of the biggest mistakes organisations make is starting the writing process too early. Before investing hours into an application, it is important to understand whether the opportunity is worth pursuing. A strong proposal starts with three questions:
1. Should We Apply?
Does the opportunity align with your organisation, objectives, experience and ability to compete? A clear go/no-go decision prevents wasted effort and helps teams focus on opportunities where they have genuine potential.
2. Can We Win?
Do you have the evidence, capability and strategic positioning needed to create a compelling submission? The best opportunities are not always the largest ones. They are the ones where your organisation can demonstrate clear value.
3. How Should We Respond?
Once an opportunity is selected, the focus should shift to building the strongest possible strategy before writing begins.
Why The Spray And Pray Approach Fails
Some organisations believe that submitting more applications automatically creates better results. However, a high-volume approach often creates problems:
Rushed Submissions
Teams spend their time reacting to deadlines instead of developing thoughtful, competitive responses.
Lower Quality Applications
Applications may technically answer the questions but fail to clearly communicate impact, value and differentiation.
Proposal Team Fatigue
Constantly preparing unsuitable applications places unnecessary pressure on writing teams and reduces the quality of future submissions.
Pursaro believes better decisions create better outcomes. A focused proposal strategy will usually outperform a volume-based approach.
