The RFP: Procurement's answer to "Blind Date"
I am a child of the ‘70s, and have most memory of the ‘80s. Lucky for me then, my formative years took me through some of the most “interesting” periods of popular television, as Channel 4 was born and ITV started to compete with audience participation shows rather than relying on TV celebrities to entertain us. Shows such as “Game for a Laugh” became a thing, and then on 30 November 1985 a new format was trialled called “Blind Date”. Read the rest of my blog to find out what this has to do with RFP
And just call me Philla Black.

8 年I enjoyed reading this Phil. The figurative other side to the screen is equally worth scrutiny. Those companies who jump in to the blind date RFP game to go on as "Number 1, 2 or 3" thinking that this model is worth their time and effort to gain a valuable and mutually productive relationship. Most often its a waste of resources, but a very good way to look busy... whilst having their 15 minutes of fame. "Its a great opportunity", I've heard people say... "It for ￡XYZ million of stuff/contract/services !!!" - well, no it isn't because you won't win it..!
