Accelerate Worked Examples (Team)

Accelerate

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.
