The Beginning of the End; RFP Recommendations (Class 8)

Nov 11/2016

This class was centered around fine tuning our selection process with the RFP. We were assigned into groups that would individually review the RFP applications and advocate the applicant that we felt was most suitable. Our job was to select the top three applications based on our own individual criteria, and then discuss why we chose our applicants with our groups. We then had a week to work with our groups to prepare our final recommendations. This meant that each group had anywhere from 3-18 potential applicants and had to reduce that number to 1-5 (based on how much funding would be provided to our final applicants). The challenge here was in reducing the 20 applicants down to a maximum of five. This meant that each group had to agree on a ranking system, or systems, in order to make our recommendations.
