The Challenges Proposal solicitation/development/selection Expectations management for sponsor Confidentiality agreements Data transfer and management Team allocation
Scope development Project management and milestone reviews Coaching vs. Advising (who owns/is-the-face-of the project) Deliverables development The people
![Page 17: The Challenges Of Integrating Industry Sponsored Data ...hiperc.buffalostate.edu/daad4aabc/presentations/West-Christopher.pdf · Data Driven Results s . New Employees Data Driven](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c712397ba224a591dd488/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Proposals The Marketing Funnel Iterative Development vs. Cold at Deadline Danger Areas (startups, top priorities, cheap consultant, sponsor maturity, do they know their data) Initial Idea >> Formal Proposal
• Bottomline Value • 3 to 5 Business Objectives • Describe the Data
Lawyers and IT The Form – online and short

The Sponsor
Sponsor Maturity – hoping for the sweet spot Do they know their data Expectations management – setting the sponsor up for success A handshake vs. a formal consultancy contract

Confidentiality Agreements
Free helps Its about student experience so give the sponsor the product No non-compete clauses Negotiation on language limited

Timely Data Transfer – the #1 source of risk to educational value
Commit to timeline in the proposal Commit them to timeline at acceptance Connect them to your IT and watch closely Cancel early and have a solid backup

The Teams Getting to know the students The ideal team leader profile Matching leads to projects The strong follower The higher end technical/programming talent Gender, nationality, student domain knowledge, maturity, student preference _____________________________ The Free Rider, the Dominator, and the Quiet One >>> Peer Feedback (the secret)
