Customer, Competition, Cost, Company and Solution, and Portfolio Management
Customer (4Cs+P)
Organizations need a basic understanding of the customer's situation, needs, hot buttons, issues, and biases. This understanding will deepen as the opportunity advances.
Competition (4Cs +P)
Organizations should identify incumbent, known competitors, or potential unknown competitors. They should also determine whether they have a competitive advantage or
disadvantage in pursuing the opportunity.
Cost (4Cs +P)
Is there a history of pricing on this opportunity? A price-to-win analysis, at some level, should be part of opportunity planning. As the opportunity advances and more information becomes available, this price target should be adjusted.
Company and Solution (4Cs +P)
Opportunity planning requires that an organization assess, from a customer perspective, its own solution, past performance, reputation, and risk.
Portfolio Management (4Cs +P)
Weigh opportunities against each other and view resources to develop and pursue opportunities as an investment. Only pursue opportunities with an ROI versus probability of win that supports the overall portfolio
