Mr. Jones teaches management consulting to mid-career MBA and MA learners at Royal Roads University, Victoria BC, where he has acted as academic advisor to more than twenty final MBA management consulting projects. He writes regularly for Summit Magazine and contributed to Clem Bowman’s book "Intangibles".
Based on a methodology developed a decade ago, public sector and not-for-profit organizations have adopted a system to effectively and economically evaluate procurement proposals and applications for assistance. Both the proponent and the recipient department/agency/business will save money by knowing the criteria and weights assigned to the criteria by the decision-making entity prior to preparing, submitting and having all the proposals and applications evaluated by the decision-making entity. Applicants and proponents will pre-screen themselves out of the process by self-assessment according to pre-stated criteria and save themselves the time and expense of preparing submissions. Recipient organizations will receive fewer proposals/applications but those received will be of better quality and more easily assessed against pre-determined criteria resulting in faster less administratively costly decisions and better feedback to submitting entities. These evaluations will include assessment of intangibles and non-quantifiable elements.
