BAYESIAN SYSTEMS

A Business Development Decision and Management Support System


Answering the Basic Questions Determines Success

The five most common questions asked by any executive about a new business opportunity are:

  • What's the opportunity and is it real?

  • Can we win?

  • Do we want to win?

  • What's the cost to win?

  • What are the strategic implications of winning or losing?

For a long time, the answers to these questions were based on the "gut feel" of a marketing person operating independently within a line or a staff organization. Decisions to pursue and bid a particular opportunity were often made independently as well. Rarely were decisions made on a comparative basis among opportunities because we lacked the information, the time and structure to do it. Additionally, there always came the follow up question

  • What's in the pipeline?

For the most part, the pipeline existed on viewgraphs or spreadsheets having severely limited distribution and access. The pipeline became simply another snapshot in time; it was usually dated and it frequently bore little relationship to current, planned, or needed opportunities. That age is over.
