Tactical Example: Stop a bid going round the same approval loop
Field | Detail |
Problem | Bids loop between sales, specialists and internal approval. |
Outcome | A bid the customer can use, with clear internal acceptance and less rework. |
Context | A recent bid, customer questions, handoffs and reasons for returned approvals. |
Habit | Trace a real case across both customer and internal gates before explaining the cause. |
Shift | Trace the actual case, distinguish symptoms from causes and test a clearer handoff. |
Prompt | Here is the problem: Bids loop between sales, specialists and internal approval. The outcome we need is: A bid the customer can use, with clear internal acceptance and less rework. Use this context: [insert the relevant evidence and constraints]. Ask me what is missing. Trace the actual case, distinguish symptoms from causes and test a clearer handoff. Separate evidence from interpretation and help me decide what to check before acting. |
Strategic Example: Rethink what the bid process is for
Field | Detail |
Problem | The team optimises bid production while uncertainty about customer value and internal risk remains. |
Outcome | A workflow proposal that resolves important uncertainty earlier, with an assumption to test. |
Context | A recent bid, customer decisions, internal approval gates and interview evidence. |
Habit | Map the idea with people on both sides of the handoff. Record what contradicted it before proposing the next version. |
Shift | Imagine a route from customer need to a sound decision, then question which existing steps contribute. |
Prompt | Use this bid account and customer evidence: [context]. What is each participant trying to decide? Offer three different ways to reach those decisions, including moving a check earlier or removing a step. Which assumption makes each idea plausible? Help us frame neutral questions about the last real bid and define a small workflow test. |
