The Compression Planning^® Institute for Grants and Advancement Professionals at Oglebay

Using Compression Planning to quickly and efficiently acquire grants

Compression Planning has helped the team at Sinclair:

• bring in an average of $2,500 per hour
• produce winning proposals 30% faster than their competition
• receive $130 million over the past 20 years in grant awards
• run an office that produces a $40 to $1 ROI

When writing and developing grants, do you often find yourself facing desperately short lead times because the opportunity is just too good to pass up?

When writing a grant, the planning, strategy and definition of elements takes a considerable amount of time, and it’s these aspects that separate wildly successful grant applications from the rest.

Compression Planning can give you the targeted, skillful training you need to move faster, deal with shorter deadlines, and completely address the processes and pressures of successful grant developing.

Participants will:

• Learn how to efficiently elicit pertinent information and ideas from organizations (stakeholders, staff, faculty, etc.) prior to developing accurate, competitive proposals for them
• Learn how to use the storyboard system (developed by Walt Disney Studios) for your idea development, master planning, organizing and communications
• Get more of the right information faster in every meeting and interaction
• Help grant development teams recognize their progress so they are less likely to get tired or bogged down along the way
• Break large complex tasks into manageable chunks to head off feeling overwhelmed
