		<description><![CDATA[Jayme - 

In my experience, there&#039;s Win Rate, and then there&#039;s Win ROI. Both are indicative of the level of success and both are routinely fudged. 

What solves this challenge (at least from a corporate perspective) is a unified Bid Process Management Tool that tracks and reports on BD activities, pipeline, B&amp;P expenditures, wins, losses - providing transparent visibility into the whole Business Acquisition process. 

Such a tool can manage, track, and report on the Business Acquisition process from Opportunity Identification, Pursuit, Capture, Proposal and ultimately to Win/Loss. A tool that provides input to and receives input from  the major stakeholder groups like BD, BD Management, Corporate Management, Contracts, Pricing, HR.
